The international community normally doesn't send aid/assistance unless it is requested. ;)

 

There are multiple countries responding with aid to the various island countries that have been devastated by hurricanes.

I have a very simple question: What other countries have sent aid to help our people who are going thru these terrible disasters?

Ivan has apparently re-formed in the Gulf of Mexico and developed into a tropical storm Wednesday, prompting warnings in Louisiana and southeastern Texas. Expected to hit land Thursday night, with potential to escalate to hurricane status again.

Hurricane Jeanne could strike the United States by this weekend. At the moment they're anticipating more heavy rains for FL and up the east coast.

 

Red Cross is looking for 900 more volunteers ASAP. And I suspect the already overwhelmed state and federal disaster response agencies will be adding to their call-out.
