GET INVOLVED

There are many great ways that you can get involved and help during a disaster. There is a great need for help after a disaster happens, but it should be done in a safe and appropriate manner according to what the needs will be. The best way to assist after a disaster for the people who may need help would be to donate money to a reputable organization that specifically helps disaster victims. A list of some of them can be found here. Ask them what their needs are before donating anything. Most of the time, after a disaster the needs are not known right away especially when there are insurance(s) involved. Before helping anywhere, always ask what the needs are before sending donations or being a volunteer somewhere.

Some organizations that you can Volunteer with is

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
