Consul of Colombia Cesar Felipe González Hernández Gonzalez shared how he first met Jose Bueno at the third Feria de Servicios, Comunidad y Salud (Service, Community and Health Fair), put together by the Colombian Consulate in Orlando whose objective is to bring information and awareness about community partners and their services not only to the Colombian population but to the Hispanic Community.
Gonzalez stayed for Bueno's presentation on Red Cross Hurricane preparedness. Gonzalez had just moved to Orlando and purchased a home for himself and his family.
"After watching the presentation, the first thing I did when I got the keys to my house was buy hurricane and flooding insurance," said Gonzalez. "It is better to have the policy and not need it than to not have it and need it in a time like this."
As Gonzalez was moving into his home, he noticed the weather reports of an incoming storm. With a possible incoming hurricane, Gonzalez decided not to continue renovating his home. Not wanting to risk his family's safety, Gonzalez took the precautionary steps he learned from Bueno's presentation.
"I covered the windows, placed sandbags around my house and found a safe shelter location in my daughter's closet. That was the safest place in the house." To alleviate the fear of Gonzalez's daughter about the situation, he gave her the job of designing the family shelter with a sign that said "Milton Shelter" with the hurricane and shelter icons, snacks, water and things to keep them comfortable. To further distract her from the hurricane coming, Gonzalez and his wife made a mini shelter inside their shelter.
"Using her imagination, she constructed a miniature shelter with toys and shoes while we played. Taking those steps instills a sense of preparedness in children."
