These are the tips that you should follow if you want to make the most out of your efforts. Here are the tips that you should take into account if you want to respond to the affected.

First, you should take into account that monetary donations are the most useful. Indeed, there are a lot of necessities that must be received for the affected such as food, clothes, and water. While these may be the most important ones, you can say that money is still the best thing to give because it can be used on various ways.

As one of those people who want to respond to the affected, you should remember that this might become the time for religious groups to try converting other people to their religion. It might not be a great idea to exploit the vulnerable and traumatized though. If you are a part of the local clergy, you have to deal with these religious groups wisely.

When you bring in outside volunteers, you have to be cautious. It is better to bring in skilled contractors despite being few in numbers instead of a great influx of untrained volunteers. The untrained volunteers will just tax the already run down community. These volunteers may do little to help the community.

You have to act as a community leader and use all your possible resources. You have to lead the responders so that you can help the taxed community. You can even reach out to local organizations so that they can help you out with assisting the community to stand up once again. Helping each other is crucial here.

Preach about God's hope, love, and grace. You need to keep the faith of the victim strong despite this disastrous event. You have to let them remember that God has a reason for everything and that this trial is not given without a solution. You have to keep their faith strong. It is only through strong faith that you will be able to help them out with their situation properly.
