GUEST EDITORIAL<br>My Kingdom For A Tarp<br>by Tim Fausch, BNP Media
Having just returned with a relief team from Gulfport, Miss., I witnessed an equally daunting challenge. There is an enormous volume of people living in homes that eventually could be condemned if repairs are not made soon. Most are low-income people who do not have the resources for even modest repairs. Many are elderly or in poor health.
The amount of physical damage is overwhelming. Nearly every building in Gulfport and nearby communities has sustained substantial damage. Those who were able tarped their roofs and walls to cover the gaping holes. Those without resources are relying on teams like the one I joined to deliver - and in some cases install - tarps for them. Our team provided about 300 tarps.
