KS Engineers, P.C.’s Post

🇲🇦. First of all, deepest condolences to the families of the victims from this event of nature that has been bestowed on us. Strength and resilience to the survivors, from which some have become homeless. To the privileged of us who have had the fortune to get away with minor damages and a dull memory of an event (ie. Also a message to myself) : lend a hand, help, donate, pray and reflect. To fellow professionals that practice structural engineering and civil engineering in their day-to-day lives : please exert and/or keep exerting active resistance to laxity towards guidelines, keep informing people, keep raising awareness about the importance of a proper design, keep helping through knowledge. Guidelines exist for reasons that need no further justification, and brushing them off or even lightly is not a cost-cutting measure, apply them fully and meticulously. #safety #earthquake #morocco #help #donate #guidelines #engineering

Whole communities are being burned, flooded,  and/or whipped to shreds by wind.  A hardworking family can be wiped out in minutes. You can help. https://gofund.me/2cbefe8f Many months, and sometimes years after being blown out of your home you might get a maximum payment from FEMA of $37,000. Few can build a suitable home with that, and where will they live until that reconstruction is finished? A Pacific Domes Future Readiness Shelter Dome Kit is the answer.  Pacific Domes just donated their Inventory to Maui. It wasn't enough,  but it's a generous start from a philanthropic entrepreneur -  Asha Deliverance - owner of Pacific Domes. PacificDomes.com These amazing shelter domes can go up in a day with a socket wrench for immediate shelter and then be moved and built out into a beautiful permanent,eco-friendly, weather-worthy home. The warehouse is empty now, with Florida getting hammered.  Who knows who is next? We must be proactive and get more emergency shelter domes in production. Can you contribute to help us support displaced communities? https://gofund.me/2cbefe8f

We have to be mindful that the use of the terminology of Non Profit as the business purpose of an organization maybe be subject to the doctrine of substance over form, that is, is it or is it not a profit seeking institution. In over view, the aim of such 'self described-institutions' is to either provide or promote a government/ civic initiative or to promote or subsidize a service/ benefit to the general public. However, as much as we choose to overlook the obvious facts that such organizations, which are amply supported by the 'untamed' and 'unrestrained' altruistic motivations of general society, that these institutions do receive substantial and in many instances incalculable donations/ funding, and do channel these donations/ funding in accordance with their agenda, in many cases unrestricted and uncontrolled. Professionals, I say that we are in the era of 'recurring disasters' populated by Cat 5 Hurricanes, 7 scale Earthquakes, Tsuanamis, wars, etc etc. Thus, non profits institutions are coming out of the wood-work, or materializing out of the blue. I will have more to say about this in coming posts.

One last post to share ways we can help Maui!

When the media dies down, #scouts remain steadfast in their commitment to the holistic recovery of young people and their families following devastating emergencies like the earthquake that shook Turkey and Syria last February. They are trusted, trained members of the very communities they serve and therefore best-placed to deliver true impact in humanitarian settings. #sustainable #humanitarianaction https://lnkd.in/eCfTduv2
