How about a small cash donation to the DAV? They have a lot of
Disabled Veterans who lost homes and possesions due to Sandy.

Generally it's more of a hassle to collect and distribute such stuff
than it's worth to the major organizations in relief efforts. It takes
a lot of manpower and logistics to deal with stuff like that so despite
the good intents it really doesn't help.

About the only way one can do anything w/ such goods is to be able to do
it on an individual and/or small independent effort--and again, that's
tough owing to the logistics of there being none in the areas and
sending in trucks, etc., just get hung up in the general congestion
already there that they're fighting.

It's why cash really is king...

Well think about this first!

Wind does not make the existing food in people's homes suddenly
disappear! Nor does an earthquake. All the food people had there
before the storm is still there. (Canned and dry goods.)

Just refrigerated or frozen food would go bad, but no point
in sending that as it will go bad if they still do not have
electricity.

Most helpful would be flashlights, hand operated can openers,
batteries, and camping cook stoves / fuel.

Also send along instructions to NOT use those cooking
stoves in their high rise apartments! Maybe set up several
of these outside these buildings for everybody to use.

Again, groups do collect donations but in general to be effective they
need to be organized and have some central collection location where the
goods can be segregated by type and then either sent as shipments of
general supplies or bundled as care bags or somesuch. Then there has to
be a way to get them there and a place for them to be offloaded and
somehow distibuted and so on and so on...just piling up a bunch of
miscellaneous items somewhere, throwing them in the back of a truck and
heading off can create more hassle than benefit or end up in stuff just
sitting somewhere because there is no way to get them distributed.

After Katrina and in many of the other Gulf hurricane aftermaths there
have been trailer loads of ice sent that ended up just melting when
refrigerated trailers ran out of diesel for the coolers before ever had
a chance to get somewhere that could offload...sometimes drivers would
just park along side of a road somewhere and manage to get some of it to
folks but much is wasted that way unless it is part of some plan that
includes somebody expecting it and there being a way to get it to
somebody/somewhere that has a way to handle it in a timely fashion.

Remember that normal logistics in the aftermath is essentially
non-existent...and you can't just show up w/ a tractor trailer and
expect there to be a warehouse and refrigeration and forklifts, etc.,
etc, etc., ...

All the major relief agencies have warehouses of nonperishables and such
things as tents, blankets, cots, etc., etc, etc., ... that they can
access immediately and they have the plans in place for distributing
them and the experience dealing with the chaotic situations. The need
thereafter then is to replace these consumables for the next major
disaster where again "cash is king"...and again, various relief
organizations have split up areas of responsibility amongst themselves
by arrangement to avoid all trying to do the same thing at the expense
of some other area not getting any attention. As noted, the
organization w/ which I work is primarily the one that is still around
and really begins to step to the fore when FEMA, insurance and all the
other early responders haven't been able for one reason or another to
solve a particular problem. We have early responders, too, but that's
not our major focus...

More stuff while it may be of some small help is going to clog up the
system. If all you have to donate is what it would cost to ship the stuff
then go for donating the shipping cost in cash. Take the 'stuff' to the
local food bank/outreach group as there are people local to you in need as
well.

I looked at the SA and can find little info on how to help NY/NJ etc with
cash. Someone suggested the DAV and that's likely where what little I can
offer will go.

We have friends of friends that have been hammered so we're sending via the
family network assistance. I do this with the full expectation that the
excess will be delivered person to person to those close at hand who are in
need.

Before the storm hit we sent a truck load of rebuilt gen sets to members of
our extended family in KY, NC and WVA. These were equipped to power
multiple homes. According to reports that project did what was needed for
a small group of folk and their neighbors.

So one gen set here another there three or four houses with light, fridge
and power for the furnace will make a difference. I wonder what could be
accomplished if the three gen sets sitting in the middle of central park
could do if there were put to use.

Yeah, but Major Bloombutt says it was supposed

Good idea.

Be aware that politics may enter the game. I recall one group in
Mississippi that trashed donated bottle water as it came from a brewery and
was in brown glass bottles.

One church group for NC showed up in NOLA with a full field kitchen. FEMA
would not let them set up because they did not have local health
inspections.

Some wag in the group had a computer, a printer and was able to fabricated
the inspection documents.

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!
08/19/08 | Unknown

I got this funny story in a chain mail:
A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the
lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her
inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on
the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the
biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the biker says, "Sir, this was the most gallant and
brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life."
The biker replies, "Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I
just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right."
The reporter says, "Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a
journalist from the New York Times, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have
this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what
political affiliation do you have?'"
The biker replies, "I'm a U.S. Marine, and I'm a Republican."
The journalist leaves.
The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed
brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page:
U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!

It can be done, but only if you have what you need on hand and it's
not in the flood itself.

Most cans are pop-tops these days. No need for a can-opener and nothing goes inside the can when you open it. The hurricane didn't knock anybody back into the twentieth century.

whatever, she wrote.

She might want to check with the people that were trapped in the
pancaked bridge or the millions of commuters that had to go the long
way around for a very long time until the bridge was rebuilt.


Maybe, in the tradition of Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and
Sonny Bono, Lindsey Lohan and Mindy Kaling will run for political office
and impress everyone with their leadership ability and great intellect.

You leave dry Pasta in boxes?

Most of the sheeples do. The ones at the store are.


So, you don't keep any food at home? That figures. I open the boxes
& put it into airtight containers the day I bring it home. I keep six
or seven types on hand, depending on what I can find.

Same here.

The 99c stores are a decent place for such containers btw. You will
simply have to hit a few to find what you want.

A lot of the "jars" one finds at Sams Club etc that hold candy,
peanuts and whatnot..the tall ones..work pretty well for spagettie and
longer pasta. I tend to give my jars a shot of Argon from the welding
shop before closing them up. Stuff lasts for years.


I buy the big containers of spices from Sam's Club and save them for
pasta, cereal and other bulk food. You never know when you'll need a
gallon of dried onions, black pepper or chili powder.

God, you do love to misconstrue, don't you? I have in depth food
storage, put up properly for long term storage, thank you.

That's beside the point. My comments referred to the people that were
in the storms path. The average Joe does not do as you and I so the
idea that their pasta is dry packed is just plain silly. I doubt you
are actually so stupid as to misunderstand that, so I'll just say
troll on my good man.


So, no one in New England knows the proper way to store food? Glad
to know that.
