A good guide on how to help.

Hurricane MILTON and HELENE --- In case you wonder: “How can I help people affected by Hurricane Helene and Milton? Simple, please donate to Team Rubicon. https://lnkd.in/esgd6eg You’ll be helping veterans helping communities in need. I’ve been donating monthly for many years to this organization. But don’t take my word for it. Please do your own research. But I think you’ll find this to be one of the best options, If you’re thinking of helping/donating. Veterans are uniquely qualified to clear roads and debris, setting up temporary camps, distribution centers, delivering water, food and other essentials. They have training and experience from warzones, disaster areas, etc.. They can build temporary bridges and roads….whatever is needed. In short, they get stuff done without debates and discussions, no finger pointing. I served in the Swedish Army, and I was amazed how a bunch of 18-20 years could set up a camp for 800 people in the winter in the middle of nowhere in a matter hours, not days or weeks. This includes building a road, clearing the grounds and setting up: tents with stoves to house 800 guys, (20 guys to a tent.) field hospital, kitchen, a full repair shop for all kinds of vehicles, a gas station for gas and diesel with multiple hoses. Even hot water showers!!!! The camp was in use for two weeks, and cleanup was also done in a matter of hours. (Yes it was cold, below 0 most days.) (My job was to manage fuel and oils for both the camp and 2 mobile fuel trucks. I even had a little heated “office”.) So if a bunch teenagers can get this done in a matter of house, imagine what a team well trained veterans can accomplish, many with experience in warzones! https://lnkd.in/esgd6eg PS. Hurricanes do not care who you vote for, pray to, or live with. Neither does Team Rubicon. Let's put our differences aside and UNITE in helping those in need. #TEAMRUBICON

Hurricane Relief: How to Best Help (from a former Red Crosser) With two catastrophic hurricanes back-to-back, thank goodness Americans want to help. Here are three ways to be sure your help does the greatest good. 1. Donate CASH. This allows disaster relief agencies to purchase exactly what's needed for the people they're helping on the ground. Also, agencies have agreements in place well before landfall to get the most needed material items like bottled water, hygiene supplies, etc. to the impacted area. There simply isn't warehouse space in destroyed communities to store donated clothing and shoes. Relief agencies will help families get what they need fast when they have adequate financial donations to do so. The only time to send material goods is if you have an agreement with an agency on the receiving end to take the donation. Otherwise, it will likely end up in a landfill. 2. Donate to an agency you trust. Do the research to be sure the organization you support is helping victims. Large organizations that can be trusted in times of disaster include American Red Cross, Team Rubicon, The Salvation Army and others. 3. Communication with loved ones after landfall will be difficult. It could be days - or longer- before you can reach someone by phone or text. The Red Cross has tips on how to help locate loved ones after Milton at this link: https://lnkd.in/gy9rJynx Thank you to everyone willing to help. It will matter to those in the path of Hurricane Milton and those cleaning up from Helene.
