Prayer is not only so that God can help the families affected overcome the trouble in their lives. It can also make you feel better about yourself. In your own way, you are showing concern and solidarity with the victims of these disasters.
There is a large number of this relief organizations springing up on a daily basis. This deal with a variety of disasters like tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes and others of Man-made nature. In the 21st century people have witnessed some of the worst disasters.

You may have received e-mails from some of these organizations. Never mind that there goals or profiles are not clear, they are insistent to the point of irritation. They regularly send messages to your inbox which at times you can mistake for spam. Some of them go the extra mile by sending their solicitations directly to your physical mail. Others will use the print media or go for a wider audience by flooding the Television networks with pleas for donations.
Raising funds for those victims is another way of being helpful. Most relief agencies require lots of money to operate effectively. These sources of finance come from well-wishers and sponsors. You can mobilize the people in your neighborhood to pledge funds to these agencies as a worthy cause. If possible organize a fund raiser and ensure all the money collected goes to the disaster victims.
Many countries have contingency plans that incorporate the relief agencies or committees. They are tasked with transportation of food, clothes and medical supplies to the affected areas. They can also get tenders to supply the very same materials to the country administration during a time of crisis. Where there is need for it, they are allowed to take immediate action without government approval. This is necessary to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. The affected people can be transferred to properties owned by the agencies for temporary shelter. Here dedicated volunteers are ready to cater to their most pressing needs.
Sending notes for Consolation can be of great comfort to the victims. They will feel appreciated and think they are not the only ones grieving. Instead everybody is aware of their predicament and is praying for their quick recovery.
Ensure the notes you send are in an easily understood language that anyone can understand. You can send the notes through the church missions, the relief organizations, schools and newspapers. The message on the note should also be clear and straight to the point. Avoid talking in generalities.
