If you are in immediate need of evacuation due to flooding, DO NOT GO INTO YOUR ATTIC. YOU WILL DROWN. Get on your roof and tweet to the @USCoastGuard or call 281-464-4851. 911 is overloaded and cannot take any new calls.
DO. NOT. GO. INTO. YOUR. ATTIC.
If you’re outside of Houston, have a watercraft and want to help, call the coast guard at 281-464-4851. They’ll coordinate rescue efforts with you.
If you’re outside of Houston and want to help, PLEASE consider the 700K animals who died in Katrina and donate to the Humane Society or the SPCA.
Please consider the disabled, the elderly and special needs folks who are most likely unable to get somewhere due to financial or health reasons. PORTLIGHT.ORG is the BEST resource for rescue and assistance in the country.
I’ve been checking in with my Houston friends (and my Buddhist monks) and it’s terrifying. And the rain won’t stop until LABOR DAY.
Please. If you can, help. We’re on our f*cking own as a people. We need to help one another.
DO NOT WASTE TIME WITH THE RED CROSS. Focus on charities that DIRECTLY HELP HOUSTON/SURROUNDING AREAS.
- DirectRelief.org is the #1, most reputable charity. Again, PORTLIGHT.ORG is so f*cking crucial, I can’t even stress that enough.
- George Brown convention center
- is serving as a storm shelter.
- Consider donating blood to Carter Blood Care
- National Guard for evacuation/help: 713-578-3000
- What Houston SPECIFICALLY is asking for (how to help)
