“It’s what we do! We’re Idaho—that’s what we do,” says Brad Winn.
The Idaho Way has made its way to Florida.
Brad Winn, Idaho native and National Account Manager for Boise Disaster Response, is part of a team of over 200 workers aiding in the recovery efforts after hurricanes Helene and Milton ravaged Florida in recent weeks.
It’s a far cry from the natural disasters we usually face in Idaho, but Brad says helping in these situations comes naturally.
“As a fourth-generation Idahoan, there is something about our culture that makes us care about people and come together as a community. Calamity like this doesn’t strike us, but you have this sense of purpose and desire to help people,” Winn says.
