Pediatrician Derek W. Moss discusses his article, "How natural disasters reveal resilience and the power of community." Derek reflects on the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which flooded his Hendersonville Pediatrics practice and devastated his North Carolina community, drawing parallels to the Los Angeles fires. He shares the emotional toll of loss—homes, businesses, and routines—and the challenges of rebuilding without immediate insurance support. Derek highlights the inspiring resilience of community members, from heroic first responders to neighbors offering space and supplies, emphasizing actionable lessons: lean on local networks, adapt to setbacks, and embrace collective strength to recover.
