Luckily, the store itself narrowly avoided catastrophe, so Peter and his team put into action a disaster plan to immediately start supporting the wider community.

Before I had got there, my overnight manager and my personnel manager had already transformed our associate break room and an adjoining room into a relief center for those who turned up to the store.

'Cause I mean, the, these people were turning up to the store in their pajamas, you know, just whatever they were wearing and to get out.

And they weren't gonna be waiting in the car, do a little shopping.

They were in pajamas, hadn't ate, were freezing cold 'cause it's pouring rain, and they, they had escaped the house.

So we had set up food for them to eat, coffee for them to drink.

We put the news on the television in the lounge for them.

As we've heard throughout this series, it was the lessons Peter learned on blue sky days that helped him kick into high gear when faced with disaster.
