    We are 5 1/2 hours south and we have evacuees here. The outpouring of support has been amazing. PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN

    Yes and please remember if you want to Donate The Red Cross is accepting donations and the federal government is matching it. Goods-ie household supplies, furniture, used clothing, toys are NOT needed at this time. It may be quite awhile(like months) before folks are back into their homes or new homes

    Yes, and most people are insured for their house and content, so they will evenually be indemnified. The challenge is now is more to deal with emergency needs, and this is why donations should be made cash - and ask authorities and official organization before sending anything else.

    Good luck to all.

    It's wonderful to see the province/country pulling together to help these displaced families #albertastrong

    This. Far more helpful than thoughts and prayers.

    $29 million received by the Red Cross so far - doesn't include government matching funds. Amazing.
