subject: Freight Shipping To Help Victims Of Hurricane Sandy [print this page] With the devastation of hurricane Sandy still affecting the east coast drastically, many people are having trouble reaching their loved ones. The day right after the hurricane on October 30th, many calls that were trying to reach landlines and cellphones in the New Jersey - New York City tri state area were not going through due to the high volume of calls being made into the area. New York City if the mostly densely populated of all the United States and houses over 1 million people so it is easy to understand how the lines were congested with calls right after the hurricane. At this time of devastation, it is important to keep loved ones within reach.
Besides just calling, a care package would go along a long way to victims of hurricane Sandy. Batteries, flashlights, and dried food are all items that can be effective at this time. Even sections of NYC that do have electricity are trying to ration use as much a possible. And other parts of NYC that hadn't lost it for a full 5 days before the generators kicked in again. Any little thing couldve been tremendous help. International shipping companies had good deals for shipping to New York during this time to help with the relief efforts. Donations to help with recovery efforts are coming in all forms, monetary and time.
Some items that would be good ideas for freight shipping to hurricane victims include but are not limited to: granola bars, batteries (AA, AAA and 9-volt), manual crank flashlights, candles, lighters, matches, blankets, and hot water warmers. The most important things at this point for victims is energy and warm. With most of the city out of electricity, many people are forced to seek refuge in homes that have heat and running water at nights. During the day, the only way to keep warm is to bulk up on clothing. The people that are generous enough to offer up their homes at this time are probably at a shortage of blankets, and dried food is always welcome when trying to ration the citys energy consumption.
As the part of the United States, when any member of our nation is under attack, it is important that we help each other out. Even if you dont personally have a friend or relative living in the NYC-New Jersey area, any donation will help the relief efforts. The Red Cross is taking any donation at this point to help the victims that lost everything. Visit http://www.homeshipping.com/ for more details.
