A resources collecting page for Hurricane Harvey response; we are **not** an emergency service provider, but non-emergency **questions, requests, inquiries, report-ins, offers of help or capacity are welcome**. We are also maintaining a list of places to donate to. ## What is this page? The purpose of this page is to amplify requests emerging from local community organizations, especially those that work with communities that are bearing the burden of the storm more than others, and many of whom primarily coordinate over the phone or through Facebook groups. https://anothergulf.com/a-just-harvey-recovery/ is the primary online hub for response efforts of the `#ajustharveyrecovery` coalition If there are other efforts with similar aims, we don't want to duplicate or draw capacity away from them. Likewise, if other efforts are aimed at a different group (say, technologists, or professional crisis responders) and take a different approach, we want to do our best to interconnect with them, but also recognize that there may still be a need for this page. ### Posting asks + offers We are happy to feature report-ins from folks involved in Harvey response on this page -- you can [post them here](/post?tags=harvey,harvey-response). If there are **specific asks or offers**, what works best is to break those out as concrete questions, such as: - we need help with X? - does anyone need X? That way we can get people connected up, whether they want to pitch in or they have information you need -- Public Lab's network spans over 10k people. ## Weekly Open Call Public Lab hosts a weekly public call, and we are happy to offer this as a space for coordinating efforts and inquiries on Harvey response. Calls happen at **2pm CT / 3pm ET on Tuesdays** Call-in information is at: https://publiclab.org/wiki/open-call and https://pad.publiclab.org/p/opencall Please add your name and/or comments there, even if you can't join, and we'll do our best to connect the dots. Notes from these calls will be listed here: [notes:harvey-calls] **** ### Help organize Help organize this content!
