Like many of y'all I've been watching with horror and sorrow about the flooding in the Hill Country this weekend. My heart goes out to everyone especially any Clutchfans affected by this. I just donated to the Hill Country Community Foundation Kerr County Flood Relief Fund And if anyone has any other information about good ways to help please share.
Send money, not stuff. Money gets to people who need help faster than donations of things. Plus, it's easier managed. When stuff comes in, you need people to sort through it and organize it and distribute it. Plus, much of the stuff that comes in is not usable for various reasons. https://hazards.colorado.edu/news/research-counts/avoiding-the-second-disaster-of-unwanted-donations
Send FEMA - get a warning siren - use the AMBER alert system. This tragedy was preventable, and I feel so bad for all those kids and people washed away - in the night. This has happened before, and will again, if we don't start putting in proper warning systems and staffing them correctly...... I feel so badly for those people who sent their children to summer camp for the time of their lives and now has become the tragedy of their lives. Hell Kerville is getting rained on again today - heavy rain forecast too.....ugh. DD
