The tropical storm known as Florence has unleashed torrents of rain on the Carolinas since last week, killing at least 23 people and prompting rescue efforts by water and air amid mass flooding. Thousands of National Guard soldiers and other emergency workers are carrying out search-and-rescue and recovery missions ― efforts that will likely continue for days to come. The state of North Carolina has a list of “Voluntary Organizations Active in a Disaster.” Consider donating to one of the member organizations. Roy Cooper announced the state itself was accepting donations to help those affected by the storm. South Carolina is directing people to donate to the One SC Fund, which helps fund nonprofits that work on recovery efforts related to natural disasters.
