Local governments have helped. State governments have helped. The national government has helped. They sent supplies. They sent food and water. They helped people who have lost their homes.

Regular people are helping too. They helped rescue people from flooding. They collect money and supplies to help people. They give to charities that will help rebuild. 

What Can You Do? Ask an adult what they will do. Some people give money. Some people give supplies.
