“Once first responders have completed their essential and critical work in search and rescue, we will be on the ground to assist with disaster relief efforts,” said Robyn Rennber, director of CAP’s Disaster Relief Program.
The program is managing donations from across the country, according to charity leaders, and working around the clock to ensure relief supplies reach the impacted areas as quickly as possible.
