What Did You Do?
summary
Northern Germany floods soak fields and rivers, forcing volunteers to fill two million sandbags in about two weeks to shore up dikes; many volunteers cannot work until they get required vaccinations because floodwater contains decaying animals and high infection risk. Afterwards people join the THW (Federal Agency for Technical Relief) for regular training, vaccinations about every four weeks, and use practical tools for flood control. The talk connects that emergency volunteering to contributing to long-running single-maintainer projects — submit PRs and you can become the resident expert.
