flangirl[ ooc: this is a text post, but i'm dyslexic and can't read courier very well. i'll be using regular italic text and prepending carets to each line of ic text like it's 1989. if you could avoid using courier yourselves on this post i would appreciate it! ]
> Hello everyone! My name is Pudding, and I'd like your help!
> I know everyone has their own preparations in mind with the incoming rain. If anyone is looking for some way to help and isn't sure what to do, I'd like you to think about where you usually get your food every day and prioritize keeping it safe! We have finite food resources and almost any food you can imagine is perishable if waterlogged. There are so many locations where food is served and stored I know I can't get to them all myself! That's where you come in ♡
> The most important thing of all is getting all the food to high ground. Besides ground floors, this includes getting things out of basements and cellars if there are any. Anybody who can go up and down flights of stairs or elevators or fly or whatever else there is can move food even if it's just an armful at a time! Everything helps! If you can get food from small and unsound buildings to stronger ones that would be an even bigger help!
> I know there are a whole bunch of you big enough or strong enough or both to unload all those big barrels and crates off the ferry. If it's possible for you to get them all the way up to second and third floors of sturdy buildings I would appreciate that sooo much!!! ♡♡♡ I can also use some strong hands and strong backs to knot ropes into nets and pull cargo up near the rafters so if upper floors do flood, all our preparations don't wash out through the doors and windows!!
> I'm used to shipping the food my family makes by boat, so I know how to make containers water safe. All the supplies still packed up from the ferry should be able to just go like they are, and ones that have been opened can be carefully repacked with food and carried to high ground too! I can show you how if you stop by The Invincible, where I'll be working on all the supplies there and trying to coordinate pulling from the Bed and Breakfast too.
> It would also help to have the following supplies if anyone has them or knows where to find them:
> rope
> big and heavy screws, bolts and nuts, and the tools to use with them
> meat hooks, wall mounts, anything else than can hold something heavy
> pulleys, winches, and substitutes
> wax
> tar
> wax paper, butcher paper, contact paper, linings and liners, and even old newspapers
> And of course anything else you, dear reader, can think of that might help!
> Please let me know if you can help me or I can help you! If you'd just like to tell me where you're working on moving food from and to, I can note that down so we have a reference on the network for later.
> I look forward to meeting and working with everyone! xoxo
