>Contact your local Red Cross Chapter and express what you would like to do. They may be able to “point you in the right direction”. I know the last thing anyone wants to do is become part of the problem while attempting to help. Just knowing what is proper and the potential of having a coordinated effort is imperative! I am speaking for experience.

I thought of that and will do that. I was watching an interview with someone from the Red Cross already in the area, and he said their focus was on shelters and providing for the refugees. So their focus is not really on cleanup. Hopefully, they can point me in the direction I am interested in.
