To help those people that can’t reach loved ones, I suggest that we use the boards to relay a message for them. People that need to contact someone and let them know you’re OK, but can’t get out by phone, etc, can e-mail a volunteer directly using the mail link on each posting. They can then pass along the details of who to call, phone #s, etc. If you’re interested in helping, announce it here. I’ll be the first volunteer.
This effort has the blessing of Unclebeer. Please don’t post phone numbers here, but send them by direct e-mail to a volunteer.
I’m going to take Billdo’s advice and go donate blood. I think this is one of the best ways for people to help out. I’ll be back here in about an hour or two.
