The world will need to remember the golden rule today. It’s #CashNotStuff for LA. Wait to hear about agreed ways to donate money. Do not arrange to send items unless emergency responders ask for specific things

Please remember the golden rules for helping after floods. Absolutely no donations of second items - it’s #CashNotStuff but also #Giveinaminute and wait for advice on trusted fund raisers. Random crowd funding can also do harm
