Would be a good idea in theory, but they wont even let residents in any area yet, most areas they say may be a month before they can even get in, so not much we can do to help yet, It just kils me to see what these people are facing and so many have lost everything and now also have no jobs to go to, in order to make a living or support themselves while they are out of work.
