Please remember that these numbers may change from disaster to disaster. Local media will have the most recent numbers (though most agencies try to keep the same numbers). Also remember that phone service may be limited and relief workers will be working diligently to assist everyone that needs assistance. Those with the most dire needs will be given priority. Please be patient and treat those trying to help with respect.
