SMEM and Distaster Fatigue

This is just a quick landing place for a number of resources that were shared during the 4/19/13 #SMEMCHAT regarding #DisasterFatigue and Stress reducers in the wake of the Boston Marathon Bombings and subsequent manhunt.

Many thanks to all of the SMEMCHAT participants!
