ฉันรักแปลWe all, we're sure, breathed a sigh of relief to learn that Hurricane Patricia, at one point the strongest hurricane on record, caused much less damage than expected.
As the hurricane's landfall approached, no one knew what level of destruction it would cause on the tourist areas and poorer rural towns of Mexico's west coast. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated, and governments and aid agencies waited to see what would happen.
Luckily, the storm dissipated quickly. Zero deaths have been confirmed as being directly caused by the storm, and no major damage has been reported.

However, there is still much work to be done for many living in the areas affected by Hurricane Patricia. Heavy rain flooded homes, caused mudslides and resulted in power outages not just in Jalisco state where the storm made landfall but also in other areas in the storm's path, like cities across Texas.
How quickly these areas will return to normalcy may vary widely based on whether disaster victims can access resources, overcome the emotional loss and work together to rebuild their communities. While this challenge is daunting, time and again we have witnessed communities come together and rebound from disasters.
And, time and again, it is the work of local entrepreneurs – the community leaders of business, civics, and religion – that is essential to recovery. In our conversations with disaster victims after Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, they frequently mentioned the key role that entrepreneurs can play in helping communities return to normalcy after a major storm.

For instance, after Hurricane Katrina, LaToya Cantrell, the then-president of the Broadmoor Improvement Association, helped her neighborhood prove their vitality and marketed their neighborhood as one worth investing in. As a result, the "Broadmoor Lives" effort not only encouraged residents to return and rebuild, but it caught the attention of many generous funders, such as the Clinton Global Initiative, the Carnegie Corporation of New York and Harvard University's Belfer Center. These organizations funneled needed resources to the neighborhood that helped track the status of rebuilding as well as provide funds to build a new charter school, library and community center.
Local entrepreneurs like LaToya can assess needs on the ground to provide critical goods and services, can help to restore disrupted social networks and can rally the community to recover. Often these local business and civic leaders use their connections on the ground to funnel goods, funding and support from outside sources.
In the coming days and weeks, government officials in Mexico and Texas should seek to give entrepreneurs the space and freedom to act. That means getting out of the way of local leaders and encouraging residents to reopen their businesses and find ways to work together without needing approval or waiting on official plans.
