Stern, a former government employee who now runs a consulting firm in Tampa, says he formed Dynamo in the middle of the U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan in August. His group has helped thousands of people leave that country, a process that continues.<\/p>\n<p >When Ukraine started to go \u201csideways,\u201d said Stern, a donor asked him to assist with a Ukraine evacuation as well.

In addition to sending buses to the border, Stern was able to get some individuals onto commercial flights prior to the Russian invasion. His group was able to plan secondary and tertiary routes, establish safe houses, find buses and do Covid testing \u2014 applying lessons learned in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<div >\n<div data-mps=\"true\" data-slot=\"boxinline\" data-sizes=\"[[[1000,1],[]],[[758,1],[[300,250],[700,50],[5,5],[728,90],[360,360]]],[[0,0],[[300,250],[700,50],[5,5],[360,360]]]]\" data-render-on-view=\"true\" data-targeting=\"{}\" data-active-tab=\"true\" data-offset-viewport=\"100\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p >\u201cWe have lived this already,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve already seen this movie before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p >In Ukraine, however, he said the U.S. government was more upfront in warning people to flee the country ahead of the violence, a bluntness he appreciated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><br ><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. nonprofit that evacuated Americans from Kabul\u00a0is now helping U.S. citizens and residents flee Ukraine, with its first busload of 23 evacuees now en route to a country on Ukraine&#8217;s western border.
