Hurricane Irma is currently barreling toward Florida, and is expected to leave a trail of destruction should it make landfall on Sunday morning.
Thousands have already been displaced and at least 19 people have been killed since the storm ripped through Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Martin and Saint Barthélemy, Anguilla, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas and Cuba’s Camaguey Archipelago over the course of this week.
Ahead of what will likely be a lengthy cleanup operation in the U.S. and across the Caribbean, here’s what you can do to help those affected:
1. Donate or volunteer
Multiple organizations are appealing for donations so they can send volunteers and supplies to the disaster areas.
They include the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities USA, UNICEF, Oxfam America, Americares, Habitat for Humanity and Save the Children. more
