Notes: Here is the CATEGORY where we store links to disaster relief "services", including groups that are designed to do something specifically for you, either train you, work with you about a particular personal issue, perhaps even pick up the phone and make calls on your behalf.

See also Government and Advocacy category for groups that focus on government policy. In this category, groups that do advocacy are doing so "on-behalf" of an individual.

1. SCROLL DOWN PAST THE GREEN LINKS to see a TABLE of all ITEMS in the category. MAKE SURE TO HIT "clear sort" (a red link) at the top of the table, to get the most recent entries to the top of the table.

2. For a particular type of item, scroll right and down and CLICK ON A GREEN LINK. There is a green "link" (a green word/phrase) for each item listed.

3. SCROLL WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM to see facilities registering a need/avail for that type of item.
4. There may be multiple pages.
5. To see the most recent listings, at the top of the table, click "Update" to sort the list by "update date". You may have to scroll right to see that column.
4. You can limit the list by state with the pull down menus at the top of the table.
5. Click on the Facility Name to find contact info.
