Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda Relief

Dear Friends,

I want to express my condolences to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda and the Filipino community in the United States. My deepest sympathies are with the Filipino people at this devastating time.

What is particularly frightening is that many people locally are having difficulty locating their relatives in the Philippines, and are unsure of where to turn to check on them. To that end, if you or someone you know is in this situation, please refer to Restoring Family Links, from the International and National Red Cross.
