Take several deep breaths and scream!

Run around in circles uselessly. Be sure to interfere with First Responders and Emergency Workers trying to deal with the situation. Bonus points if you can be enough of a problem to get arrested.

Find a news crew and complain how no one from the government has shown up to help. Major networks are best, local networks are good if you can make a hysterical plea and cry. If a news crew isn’t available, post a few dramatic videos on-line. Weep in front of a destroyed home, even if it isn’t yours.

Start a Go Fund Me page, mention sending relief to the hundreds of victims, keep the money for yourself. The goal should be around twenty thousand dollars, enough for a good trip to the islands for you and a couple friends.

Planning is everything. A good cause can fuel a lifetime of self-aggrandizement and launch your career as a victim advocate. You could be the next David Hogg. With enough planning, you may never have to work again.
