Not Helpless
We are not helpless in the face of disaster. If you need to find
information about a loved one who is missing or you would like to vounteer to
help during the crisis, use the following contact information on this page to
learn where your efforts are needed. The New York Public Library has compiled a
comprehensive list
of contact information for New York volunteer associations and emergency
facilities. It is updated approximately every hour. The list includes contacts
for blood donation, clothing and other donations, hospitals, grief counselors,
child counselors, Red Cross Chapters, schools, travel updates, shelters and
airlines. The Google News page offers
a lengthy list of news organizations which are carrying news of the terrorist
attacks on the USA. Overloaded news site servers are generally not a problem
today, though you may experience Internet connectivity issues due to a power
grid that has been disabled in Manhattan.
