Is Nashville’s Disaster Response Plan Good Enough? These Organizers Say No.
As Metro officials scrambled to enact a response plan in the wake of Winter Storm Fern, The ReMIX Way snapped into action, delivering tens of thousands of meals, stocking alternative shelter locations with food, and ensuring Spanish-speaking residents were informed. Organizers Cathy Carrillo and Kelly Chieng join host Marie Cecile Anderson to explain why they stepped up, what they learned, and where our government needs to improve before the next storm hits.
