As Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coast in a deadly one-two punch, millions of Americans were affected by their destructive paths. Although the devastation was profound, the massive amount of private and public aid that has poured in to help rebuild the decimated region shows the true depth of generosity and compassion of people across the country - and in fact, throughout the world. Over $2 billion has already been raised in public and private funds to help victims of Katrina and Rita.
Thousands of organizations are now working towards a united mission of hurricane aid - providing housing, employment, clothing, medical, clothing and other forms of financial relief for those that are suffering. Generous donors around the country are already making this relief effort among the largest in American history. In fact, the American Red Cross estimates that Hurricane Katrina relief efforts will exceed $2 billion. If you are one of the victims of either or both of these storms, you deserve help. The following aid organizations can help:
American Red Cross
American National Guard
Department of Homeland Security
Displaced TSA Employees
FEMA
Florida Division of Emergency Management
GO Direct: U.S.
