Mutual Aid Disaster Relief resource list masterpost
So I just found https://mutualaiddisasterrelief.org/resources/ And it is AMAZING.
I could share it as a link but many of you won’t click it and realize the abundance of things behind it that might be relevant to you right now. So Instead I’m gonna copy-paste the lot so you can all share in its glory. No part of this list was my work, I take no credit, I’m just the copy-paster.
The hotlines and specific services are US centric. If people wanna add less US-centric sources, please do.
