Tips on Helping Those Affected by Superstorm Sandy

Posted: Updated:

It's been a week since Sandy hit the Northeast and recovery will take a long time.

In New York about 40,000 people are expected to need shelter and thousands are still without power.

As recovery efforts continue, ABC22 and FOX44 wants to make sure you know how to help. We also want to make sure you are helping cautiously.

Don't respond to any electronic message you didn't sign up for. Do go directly to the charity's website.

Don't rely on 3rd party recommendations. Do research.

Also, if you want to give your time, join an established volunteer organization so you can receive proper training.

For more information about how to give blood, money, or supplies check out the following websites:
