If anyone’s interested in helping out with the recovery for Hurricane Debby, please consider volunteering with Nechema. It’s a Jewish organization but you don’t need to be Jewish to join, and it’s entirely virtual.
From an email I received, lightly edited for clarity:
Due to the risk of flash floods and storm surges, disaster assessments have been slower than usual. NECHAMA has been asked to help identify areas of need in Florida through Crisis Cleanup, a nonprofit disaster work order management platform that utilizes volunteer resources from registered agencies. This vital task ensures several key objectives:
- Victims can report damage and get enlisted to receive services.
- The extent of the storm damage can be further analyzed.
- Local emergency managers know where to send immediate aid.
This volunteer opportunity is completely virtual and will allow you to make a significant contribution to our hurricane response from the comfort of your home. NECHAMA will host a virtual training call for this opportunity on Thursday, August 8 at 6:30 PM Central/7:30 PM Eastern.
