boulder earthquake
Hello, I'm Jason Marshall, and I'll be representing the Tompkins party talking about how we will respond to the devastating events that happened in Boulder recently. There was a deadly 8.7 earthquake that unfortunately resulted in 27 casualties and others that have not been counted yet. It was one of the worst earthquakes that Boulder has ever seen. Our first step as the Tompkins Party will be encouraging volunteers to assist first responders with clearing wreckage and getting people out of the debris. We will also send out volunteers to help the reconstruction. We will donate twenty-five thousand dollars to the foundations helping the families that got hurt or separated. That money will also go to helping to pay the first responders and donating to local construction crews who are helping with the cleanup. We are also focusing on temporary housing, food, and medical aid. We send our condolences and prayers to those affected by this tragedy.
