In just the past four weeks, three major hurricanes ravaged the Caribbean and the United States Gulf Coast.</p>
<p>First cameÂ <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/hurricane-harvey">Harvey</a>, which killed approximately 83 people, destroyed or damagedÂ over 100,000 homes, flooded neighborhoods, and displaced over 30,000 in Texas and Louisiana. ThenÂ <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/hurricane-irma">Irma</a> hit Florida and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-irma-us-virgin-islands-damage-2017-9">several Caribbean islands</a>, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-irma-58-million-florida-homes-and-businesses-2017-9">knocking out power</a>, leaving thousands homeless, and killing at least 41 people.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/hurricane-maria-2017">Maria</a> followed,Â <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hurricane-maria-photos-damage-caribbean-islands-irma-2017-9/">ripping through</a>Â Puerto RicoÂ and Dominica and killing at least 17 people. The Category 3 storm, which wasÂ approaching the Turks and Caicos islands on Friday, has brought torrential downpours and powerful winds that have uprooted trees,Â demolished homes, and inundatedÂ roads on severalÂ Caribbean islands.Â </p>
<p>In Puerto Rico, tens of thousands of people started evacuating the island Saturday morning, after <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-storm-maria/failing-dam-creates-new-crisis-on-puerto-rico-amid-flooding-from-hurricane-maria-idUSKCN1BY05J">a failed dam </a>cascaded floodwater throughout city streets and knocked out <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/23/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-communication-lines-dam">85% of phone and internet cables</a>. The Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/f6949137af1e4b389879f39ed6a05b78?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&amp;utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=AP">reports</a> that dozens of mayors are arriving to meet with Puerto Rico's governor, as officials plead for supplies.</p>
<p><span>Jose Sanchez Gonzalez, the mayor of the north coastal town of Manati, told The AP Saturday that he needs basic resources, including water, ice, and gas, immediately. Hysteria is starting to spread, because the hospital is at capacity and people are going to start dying.</span></p>
<p>You might be wondering how to help.</p>
<p>According toÂ <span>The Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI), which is part of the US Agency for International Development, <a href="https://www.cidi.org/how-disaster-relief-works/guidelines-for-giving/">donating money is almost almost the best way to give aid</a>. BeforeÂ donating materialÂ goods (like blankets, food, or toys), CIDIÂ recommends confirming with relief organizations there is an actual need for them.Â </span></p>
<p><span>If you want to assist in person, nonprofits bothÂ international and local areÂ <a href="https://www.nvoad.org/current-disasters/hurricane-irma-information/">looking for volunteers</a>.</span></p>
<p><span>Reputable, local charity organizations toÂ donate to after Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and MariaÂ are listed below, followed by larger nonprofits that operate on aÂ national or global scale.</span></p>
<p><span><em>Note:Â It is not clear whetherÂ all these organizations will spend 100% of donations received on hurricane relief and associated expenses. But in past large-scale disasters, they have given high percentages of donations directly to victims, especially if there is a specific fund set up.Â </em></span><span><em>To avoid scams, it's always good to research a group before donating by checking scoresÂ fromÂ independents groups like <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjS19KF7LbWAhWkx4MKHe1xDEMQFgg1MAA&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.charitynavigator.org%2F&amp;usg=AFQjCNE_vh2KYs_7jYkZnlS_gQ_F18lpIQ">Charity Navigator</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiV2ez967bWAhWb2YMKHaF2Au8QFgg4MAA&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.charitywatch.org%2F&amp;usg=AFQjCNFvYUsDRP6NQ1uiePPCYZYhWTzamA">Charity Watch</a>.</em></span></p>
