Shariffa Jones, Executive Director of the Spencer Chamber of Commerce, discussed the chamber's role in disaster relief following a devastating flood in June 2024. The chamber served 370 businesses and had a budget of $350,000. The flood, compared to Hurricane Katrina, affected 75-80% of buildings, including critical infrastructure like the fire station and city hall. The chamber played a pivotal role in setting up shelters, coordinating relief efforts, and ensuring communication. Post-flood, the community is recovering, with some buildings still affected. Jones emphasized the importance of professional development and staying adaptable to community needs.
