Abstract
It is extremely rare in disaster mental health annals to have consistent psychosocial interventions pre-disaster. For the third year in a row, the Red River Valley of the United States and Canada has experienced catastrophic flooding, on the heels of almost two decades of yearly major flooding. This paper describes the community and individual psychosocial responses to the current Red River flood, based on resiliency paradigms and the backdrop of successful mitigation of serial disasters. In addition, the author will present examples of real-time networking with colleagues around the world who are responding to natural disasters.
