How you can help victims of Harvey

Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane and eventually weakened into a tropical storm. It left cities and towns devastated in its path, dumping more than a year's worth of rainfall in some locations and leading to historic flooding.

Harvey was the first category 4 hurricane to hit Texas since Hurricane Carla in 1961. It has forced many people from their homes and many are asking what they can do to help.
