Message from CARF CEO regarding Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
Like you, we at CARF are deeply concerned about the many lives affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, natural disasters of significant scope and scale.
To many of those affected, to our customers, and the organizations in which they work, we extend our best wishes and our hope that they, their families, and their neighbors are safe. We estimate that slightly more than 640 accredited organizations operate in the hurricane-affected areas.
A number of organizations have offered services for displaced persons served. We recognize these organizations and their staff for their continued efforts in this time of need. We encourage any organization that is able to offer assistance to contact the
American Red Cross and similar aid organizations to inform them of your generosity and willingness to assist.
In addition, members of CARF’s International Advisory Committee have created resources offering information and ways to help:
Our thoughts are with our fellow citizens in this time of need.
Regards,
Brian J. Boon, Ph.D.
