Introduction

There are many Ask Metafilter and MetaTalk posts that address planning for and recovery from natural disasters. This page attempts to collect and organize the information and discussions.

The Red Cross has information on how to prepare for emergencies, and Ready.gov has information on evacuations, flooding, power outages, wildfires, hurricanes, etc.

The Red Cross also offers Disaster Relief & Recovery Services - if you need immediate assistance, you can contact your local Red Cross chapter.

The National Disaster Legal Aid Resource Center offers active disaster quick links, disaster preparedness resources, and links to US legal assistance and government benefits.

The American Federation of Teachers offers an Emergency Preparedness Toolkit: Post-Disaster Resources

Volunteer Opportunities

In the United States, National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) members respond to disasters across the country and encourage volunteers to register with a current member organization. As noted on the website, "seeing images of disaster may compel you to head to the impacted area. Don’t underestimate the complexity of working in a disaster area. Until a need has been identified and the local community impacted has requested support, volunteers should not enter. Be sure to affiliate with existing voluntary organization before coming to the disaster area, and that organization has been asked to respond." In addition,"while all donations are appreciated, CASH IS BEST. If you wish to make a financial donation, please select a National VOAD member here. Do not send or bring unsolicited donations."

Help me help them. (A city in my area was hit by a tornado last night. How do I volunteer to help with the aftermath?)
