Hell, I even ran one story the other day. I am so small that we are far from there so it is hard.
It is not just national news, but international news. FEMA is getting geared up after the Governor declared state of emergency. It is kind of a needed step for that.
Some of us used to post these things, even as they broke and kept on them like you know, tight. But that was broken in our assess by a few posters. Two things. Make sure they know about both the state side, office of Emergency Services, OES for short, as well as FEMA.
As to raising money and all that, I cannot start to express the caution on being careful of scammers. And this is at all stages of recovery.
