Volunteerism:

• Volunteers are asked to not self-deploy and to remain patient, as unexpectedly showing up to any of the communities that have been impacted by Hurricane will create an additional burden for first responders.
  
• At this time, potential volunteers are asked to register with a voluntary or charitable organization of their choice, many of which are already supporting survivors on the ground.
  
• The National VOAD websites contain links to those who wish to register to volunteer with community- and faith-based organizations working in the field.
