3. How can I help my community in a disaster?

The best way to help the victims of disaster is to make a monetary contribution to the American Red Cross or other established organizations serving victims. Many donated items do not meet the real needs of victims and do not help the local economy to recover.

Citizens can enroll in Red Cross first aid, CPR, and other disaster preparedness training courses.
