Disaster Strikes!
"It's better to prevent than to later lament," a basic
saying heard from childhood yet with definite meaning. What do
you do to prevent lacking what you need? Who do you go to for
help if you've been struck by unfortunate circumstances? And,
if you're not in that situation but would like to do something
to help those in need, What can you do? This is the page
created to help give you sources that answer those same
questions. Even if it's not a natural disaster that put you in
crisis. Post-Script: I tried to keep this as national as
possible, though one or two sites may be local to Houston, TX.
In the case that you are in a crisis, wish to prevent a
crisis, or wish to volunteer--Here's The American Red
Cross
