2005-01-28, rgcvideoproductions - During the late summer and early fall, four major hurricanes wreaked havoc on the state of Florida over a six week period.

Amidst these images were stories, often untold, of volunteers on local, state and federal teams dedicated to helping the impacted communities cope with the aftermath of the powerful storms.
Fort Walton Beach, FL (January 27, 2005)---During the late summer and early fall, four major hurricanes wreaked havoc on the state of Florida over a six week period. Images of destruction and devastation from Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne were in the news daily. Amidst these images were stories, often untold, of volunteers on local, state and federal teams dedicated to helping the impacted communities cope with the aftermath of the powerful storms.
One of these volunteers, a young firefighter in NW Florida, Ryan Christen is a member of FEMA’s Florida One Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) that responded to the disasters…including Hurricane Ivan which made landfall in Northwest Florida near Christen’s own hometown of Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
In addition to his firefighter and disaster team duties, Christen is an experienced video producer. After months of editing many hours of video, taken during and after the four hurricane landfalls, Christen has completed a full length DVD documentary, Hurricane – The Fury of 2004, chronicling the hurricanes’ deadly paths of destruction and disaster recovery efforts. The Fury of 2004 takes viewers behind the scenes for a look at what emergency responders do during and in the days immediately following a disaster. It provides personal stories of residents, emergency responders, and the medical community from Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola to Arcadia, Punta Gorda, Stuart, Port Charlotte, and Jensen Beach about surviving and rebuilding.
“Many videos only show the extensive damage caused by the hurricanes. I wanted people to see a side of hurricanes they don’t normally see,” says Christen.“I wanted to help promote an awareness of the scope of disaster assistance efforts provided by our government." he adds.
The DVD sells for $15.99 and a portion of all DVD proceeds is being donated to Florida One DMAT. A bonus feature of Hurricane – The Fury of 2004 also offers viewers a brief glimpse into the Florida One Medical Disaster Assistance Team’s deployment to New York City following the World Trade Center terrorist attack.
