How to help after the superstorm
Nov-04-2012

Though no longer a hurricane, Sandy still brings the threat of flooding, snow and massive power outages to millions.
The deadly storm wreaked havoc as it made landfall Monday night, and many evacuees remain in temporary shelters. Even residents riding out the storm at home face significant damage and a tough cleanup in the days ahead.
Relief groups are already working to make sure everyone affected by the storm is cared for, and you can help.
Donate blood -- The Red Cross had to cancel about 300 blood drives because of the storm and supplies are running low. Visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS to schedule a donation appointment in your area. The New York Blood Center is also collecting blood donations in the New York/New Jersey area.
Give food and shelter -- The Red Cross and the Salvation Army are providing emergency shelter and meals for evacuees.
Help children in need -- Save the Children and World Vision are paying special attention to the needs of children affected by the storm.
Care for animals -- The Humane Society of the United States and the American Humane Association have teams working to save the lives of animals caught in the storm.
