Bicycle disaster response teams
Hello hello!
I live in North Carolina where hurricanes are increasing in force and reach. I'm looking for any stories or practical advice related to organizing bicycle based disaster response teams.
-- I've read all available information on the Disaster Relief Trials in the Pacific Northwest. -- I've found a few stories from post-hurricane Sandy, Harvey, and Ida. -- I've NOT been able to find practical information/theory on the actual use of bicycles in post-hurricane, fire, or flood situation.
If anyone would like to open this conversation with me I'd be very grateful. Disaster Relief Trials - https://scholarsbank.uoregon.edu/xmlui/handle/1794/18475

If your first bullet point includes the Victoria BC "Tour de Disaster" that's all I know about. If it doesn't:
