Ultimate list of resources and organizations.

I donated $30 to Habitat for Humanity - http://www.habitat.org. I know it's not a lot, but it's enough to buy a whole wall of sheetrock. >_> I feel glad to have helped a little. \o/

And I'm just a lowly art student. If I can do it, so can you!

Holy cow. My dad threw in an additional $70. That was unexpected. That's enough to buy a kitchen sink.

I don't intend to donate any of my already limited income to a first-world nation with an economy as strong as the USA, thanks. The Tsunami Appeal was one thing, this is quite another.

Come to Houston, watch the news. See how difrent it is. I think I might volinter down at the Astrodome this weekend.

We had at least 50 family members in the area. Any money we can spare will probably go directly to them.

I donated 5 bucks... its all I can really afford.

Maybe I can donate blood. Is it in demand?

[Hylius the LC]

I've seen a lot of ads for it on TV. I think our stocks are low as it is anyway, and that this disaster brought out a bigger need.

I have no plans on donating. I honestly don't see the point.
"Here, you decided not to evacuate, have some money. Right, you lived in area below sea level, on a hurrican prone coastline, so I'm just going to shell out cash because you were fucking retaahded."
Please. Smart people don't live in natural-disaster/looting mob prone areas.

Blood is very much in demand. The medical situation has taxed the blood supply in the region, and they're pulling in from other locations, limiting those supplies.

I've been strongly considering asking the manager of the division if the company would pay my salary if I went there on a volunteer basis.

Wouldn't that eliminate most, if not all, of the planet Earth as a habital place, Euth?

[Euthanatos]

Ironically, I exempt Seattle. Too high of a police officer to civilian ratio, and isn't prone to hurricanes or flooding.

[gravity]

Wow, you really are clueless about the Seattle area, aren't you?

I've been there during the great storm of 1992, several tornados, a 6.8 earthquake, and been in some of the major riots. Don't forget the flooding and some of the massive ice storms that just stops the entire city in its tracks for days to weeks on end.

Seattle is pretty natural disaster prone.

[cosmic_hippo]

here where most of the servivers are we had a fire destroy one of the blood bank storage houses. ever since then we have been behind.

[Euthanatos]

I'm sorry, the last time Seattle was a national media event that required the National Guard and had people stealing on national TV was....?

[gravity]

2001, to answer your question Euth. During the WTO riots.

I'm not sure if they called the National Guard during the Mardi Gras riots, the snow storm of 2003, or the 6.8 quake of 2001.

Come live in Canberra, where the most you have to worry about is the firestorms..
