How do the Amish deal with natural disasters?

The Amish help each other out in most cases, whether it is a natural disaster, accident, or vandalism.

Depending on size of the structure, not only will members in the community contribute, but Amish from other communities will travel at their own expense to aid. This has been a temptation to some Amish men, who set buildings on fire on purpose so the community will believe there was a disaster of fate and rebuild new.
