Organizing for Hurricane Omar

In case you don't know, Hurricane Omar is on path to hit the Virgin Islands. According to models at Hurricane City, the Omar is slated to hit the Virgin Islands as a Category 2 storm:


We all know the Virgin Islands is isolated. We all know that many times the media doesn't even cover the Virgin Islands. So, we also know that in the aftermath it will be incumbent upon us to help the recovery.

Question: do any of you have (or know of) a VI based or run Foundation designed to help in these sorts of instances?

If so, please let's begin the discussion and be ready to help. In the meantime, please be sure to keep our homeland in your prayers.

Answer the Call: Virgin Islands for the Virgin Islanders...those at home and those abroad!

Thanks! Here's another Article: Hurricane Omar lashes Virgin Islands

As of now, there's no immediate report of the damage. And, there's a curfew until afternoon for assessments.
