With changes in the climate and in our communities, the definition of “disaster” no longer fits into one neat box. Across our 5 US responses–wildfires in CA and NC, Hurricane Helene, also in NC, the outbreak of tornadoes across the SE, and flooding in TX–our teams adapt to change. #ChefsForTheWorld
