Here is another website to get information on getting relief and assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley. This is the DISASTERS Section of FEMA Site.
It shows which counties have been declared disasters, tells how the relief effort is coming and gives contact information.
This is when it starts to get really tough folks. The drama is over and the day to day battle of just surviving is in full gear. Remember, it's very hot down here. The humidily is difficult in the best of times. Power is still out to the majority of these areas, water is still short and most victims have not much more than the clothes on their backs and what items they could grab, if they could even do that.
I will post organizations that will be helping in the relief effort. We should start hearing more in the next few days. For my more local readers, a commenter at The Command Post shares that Florida Power and Light will match any donations made dollar for dollar, up to 250K. Here is that website. You can mail that coupon in when mailing your payment.
