Re: How to help directly?
|
you should contact your local Red Cross Chapter. Already hundreds of red Cross volunteers from around the country are deployed or staging to provide relief and recovery assets to the impacted area.
I expect to be heading to the area with teams from my chapter (North Treasure Coast FL) where i am the Disaster Services Chair (volunteer). We'll even train you. The immediate recovery effort will take months, real recovery will take years.
just leave me a message if you need some directions to deal with the red cross.....
