Hurricane Isaac Donations and Volunteers – How to Help
Remember “Cash is Best”
Financial contributions to voluntary agencies can be used to purchase specific needed items on scene which helps the local economy and prevents voluntary partners from having to transport items at great expense. See the links below to donate cash to the active voluntary agencies working in the state of your choice.
Collecting Goods Is Not Favored
Clothing, household items, and food are best provided by well-funded voluntary agencies and not through the expensive process of collecting, sorting, packaging, transporting, receiving, sorting, and distributing of goods. But if you do host a collection, know the facts: (1) what is needed, (2) where it is needed, (3) who will receive and distribute it, and (4) how they want it packaged and shipped. Speak to voluntary agencies working the disaster to determine what the specific needs are before you collect. Better yet, post an offer of goods at the links provided below for the state of your choice. Voluntary partners and emergency management will review your offer and advise you if it is needed.
Volunteering Your Time
The best way to volunteer after disaster is through affiliating with a recognized disaster-related voluntary agency. Unconnected volunteers who show up at disaster sites are called “spontaneous unaffiliated volunteers” and often require the support of already busy agencies and officials. It’s better to volunteer through an organization, a church, or at a minimum, by connecting with the volunteer coordination offices in the state of your choice.
To donate or volunteer, go to one of these state sites:
Alabama www.ndmn.us/al
Arkansas www.ndmn.us/ar
Florida www.ndmn.us/fl
Louisiana www.ndmn.us/la
Mississippi www.ndmn.us/ms
Texas www.ndmn.us/tx

Protecting Our Children From Harm
In a world where we can get caught up in the daily grind, we sometimes lose sight of the smaller things, the most important things. Next week, Sept. 1 through Sept. 7, is National Childhood Injury Prevention Week. I want to utilize this week to offer some helpful tips and reminders.
This summer, there have been 23 deaths in this country due to people accidently leaving children in hot, locked cars. According to Safe Kids USA, 443 children died from heat stroke after being left in locked cars between the years of 1998 to 2009. Childhood injuries are the cause of approximately 16,000 deaths in the United States yearly. More than 70 percent of these fatalities are the result of accidental injury. According to a study by Washington University in St. Louis, the rate of Missouri’s child fatalities due to unintentional injuries in 2008 was 20.02 per 100,000 children. These numbers could be significantly lowered by merely putting basic common sense into action.
