The Red Cross, Salvation Army, and other agencies provided immediate food and shelter. In the following weeks, various media outlets held telethons and donation drives, to raise money to help pay for the urgent needs of people who lost everything but their lives. By now, I guess most families have been taken in by friends and relatives until they either rebuild, or decide where to go and start over. It's very sad, and hard to wrap your head around. But I guess tragedies like these happen more often than maybe most people realize. I remember several years ago, there were fires in California where hundred of homes were lost. And I remember some news about bad fires in Austrailia a several years ago. And there are earthquakes and tornados and hurricanes, happening all the time.
Anyway, we humans seem to rise to the occasion, help our friends and neighbors in need. And life goes on
