Following is the text of a press release from
our State Emergency Management Agency:
With the devastating attack on New York City,
Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania, natural reaction during times like these is
to want to help. However, Albert Ashwood, director of the Oklahoma Department
of Civil Emergency Management, today advised it is premature to volunteer or
send
donations into those areas.
At this time, the best way to support those
affected is by providing financial contribution to a voluntary agency involved
in disaster relief. There are several voluntary agencies with considerable
disaster relief experience. These organizations have disaster skills in many
areas such as disaster needs assessment, disaster clean-up, mass feeding, mass
shelter, first aid, crisis counseling, pastoral care, child-care, home repair,
family casework, meeting "unmet needs" and many other areas. In
addition to individual donations, group contributions are also encouraged
through dedicated fundraisers, like bake sales and garage sales.
These disaster relief organizations include:
American Red Cross 1-800-HELP-NOW
Adventist Community Service 1-800-381-7171
Church Disaster Response 1-866-551-9554
America's Second Harvest 1-800-344-8070
The Salvation Army 1-800-SAL-ARMY
"When the public supports these
organizations with their financial contributions it helps to ensure the steady
flow of important services to the people who most need the assistance,"
said Ashwood.
"Clearly, financial contributions mark
the most sensible and the most efficient way of helping those affected."
