| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. This is Jennifer Matarise. And before I get started with the episode today, |
| 0:05.4 | I just like to take care of the usual housekeeping. For starters, paid requests are now reopened. |
| 0:10.8 | If you're interested in submitting a disaster request, please double-check the list of requests |
| 0:14.3 | I most recently posted to the podcast, Facebook, and Tumblr accounts to make sure your request |
| 0:18.8 | has not already been made. Also, please look through |
| 0:21.4 | past episodes to verify I haven't already covered the disaster in question. To submit a request, |
| 0:26.8 | you can send a donation of $30 or more to the podcast, PayPal at Disasterarea at Mail.com, |
| 0:32.2 | on Venmo at Disaster Area Podcast, or on Cash App at Disaster Area Pod. Just add the name of the disaster to the notes on your donation. |
| 0:40.3 | If you have an idea for an episode subject but you're not sure if it qualifies, feel free to message me and I can approve one way or the other. |

| 1:19.8 | can help me do things like pay the rent and keep the lights on. And if you do join the Patreon, |
| 1:24.5 | you will get new episodes ad-free as soon as I record them rather than |
| 1:28.1 | waiting until they are released. So if you become a patron, I would very much appreciate it. |
| 1:33.3 | You can also follow the podcast on Facebook at Disaster Area Podcast, on Instagram at Disaster |
| 1:38.3 | Area Pod, and on Tumblr at Disaster Area Dash Podcast. Also, please think about reading or |
