"1916 Flood, Asheville, NC," D.H. Ramsey
Collection, Special Collections, UNCA
Need some help finding a dry
casket? Casket vendors usually sell for eternity, but even such an
eternal proposition can get side-tracked by a disaster. Get your caskets
while they're dry. Life is fragile but even death and casket
companies can have uncertain futures. Emergencies can come in many forms
and they do not respect schedules. We know,
for example, that snow can come at
astonishing rates in the mountains at any time between October and
June. The Southeast has had three medium
earthquakes since 1989. The strongest earthquake was that of August 31,
1886. Centered in Charleston, SC, the earthquake shook the mountains
around Hendersonville and Asheville for more than a minute. For
two days after the initial shock people nervously waited for after
shocks. The floods of 1916 and 1929 were stupendous
torrents of water. A tornado leap-frogged through West Asheville in
1999. The hurricanes Hugo and Floyd devastated the coastal regions of
North Carolina but the eastern hurricane season also brought erratic
weather to the western region and left a wake of destruction to homes and
farms. We may feel very secure in these high
mountains, but like any area of the United States, we are vulnerable. The right timing or weather conditions
can create a rapid disaster. Get prepared before the disaster happens. This guide will assist you in locating assistance
from suppliers and vendors of emergency services and equipment at the
local and national levels.
LOCAL EXPERTS AND CONSULTANTS
Maintaining a current list of local individuals
(Asheville and Western North Carolina) who are considered
experts and consultants is wise, as many situations may be beyond the
resources of the library.. The following individuals and companies have
been identified in the local area and may be available to assist. The
local SOLINET office at 800 999-8558 may also be helpful in locating
individuals in the general area .
