Volunteer Oportunity
I have it on good authority that some divisions of the Red Cross are accepting volunteers to go help. You have to be in excellent health ("no asthma, no recent surgeries, no catheters" - yes, that's exactly what the flier I saw said). You have to be willing to go for 3 weeks. You will live in refugee situations, eating "camp food" and sleeping in areas that may not have air conditioning. You may have to confront dead bodies. They will train you and tell you what to do.
One number in Central Coast CA to call is (805) 543-0696 and speak to Kelly. I'm sure there are others, just call your LOCAL Red Cross.
