Team Orientated Safety Educators and World Travelers
One safety-training firm with a penchant for being one of the only online firms to send a team directly after a global catastrophe has befallen any given area (Japan 2011 Earthquake) was at it again and this time they sent one lone writer to cover the story. There is no doubt that this Mississippi River Flood of 2012 will go down in the history books as one of the deadliest and expensive floods of the century. With adequate warning times and mobile US Army and US National Guard troops canvassing the stricken areas of the Mississippi Delta region, fatalities have been kept to a bare minimum. This cannot be said of the property that has been submerged by the muddy waters of the flooded Mississippi River, Missouri River, and countless other minor waterways as the billion-dollar mark was reached before the flooding escaped the Show Me State.
