Around the World:
PART III
Dangerous Leaders
BLOG SESSION
September 26th, 2017
Good Evening Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors ~ We're back to continue our discussion about Leadership, the traits and qualities of good leaders, the current state of what is happening around the world, and how World Leaders are stacking up in terms of how they are handling global affairs in the eyes of the people.
With so many natural disasters going on around the world: Wildfires, Earthquakes, Landslides, Volcanoes, Floods, Sinkholes, Hurricanes, Tropical Storms, Droughts, Water issues, etc., there is much-needed assistance in many locations on the world stage.
There are active wildfires in several states in the United States. Currently, the states of Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, and Florida (Florida fire due to Hurricane Irma), have had record amounts of acreage given over to wildfires.

On another level, there were threats of landslides in the area of Raboso, Mexico from the 7.1 Earthquake which caused massive damage. Residents of Mexico were experiencing tremors of anxiety from the 7.1 Earthquake.
September 2017 has been the most energetic month for Hurricanes ever reported in the Atlantic. The 2017 hurricane season has certainly been one for the record books. Whether it be Harvey’s scale-tipping rains, Irma’s off-the-chart winds, or the sheer number of storms that have spun up this year is clearly anything but normal.
Hurricane Maria (Track)
The most recent Hurricane was hurricane Maria which battered many islands in the Carribean, including Puerto Rico. Fears of dam failure persist in Puerto Rico as officials work to restore power following Maria's wrath. More than 3.5 million residents are without power. Emergency officials in Puerto Rico continue to monitor the damaged Guajataca Dam located in the northwestern part of the island as it remains at risk for failure following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Maria. Emergency officials evacuated tens of thousands of residents when it became apparent the dam could collapse under the weight of the additional water brought by Maria.
The U.S. Department of Energy said power restoration efforts in critical areas have begun in Puerto Rico as well as the U.S. Virgin Islands. The agency is currently coordinating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and mutual aid crews from New York.
There are currently over 10,000 federal staff members helping with recovery in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and more on the way, according to FEMA.
