How to Help:

It is encouraged that community members interested in providing support should visit the following website (as referred by FEMA) - the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD) www.nvoad.org. The site provides a list of recognized and officially approved nonprofit organizations helping with relief efforts. The City’s website www.beverlyhills.org/hurricanerelief also lists information on ways to donate.

It is important to be aware that scammers have been known to take advantage of disaster response situations.

Be cautious of requests for donations by unfamiliar organizations or people

Beware of unsolicited contacts and appeals on social media sites

Some leading relief charities now accept donations via cell phone, but unsolicited text messages, should be viewed with suspicion and handled with caution

Crowd-funding and other types of internet-giving can be tools of tremendous good, but as with any type of giving it can be abused, so proceed with caution when donating online
