CWS is issuing this appeal within the context of this program. Many of them have been living in shelters for close to a month. Other homeless families are living with relatives and friends. Because of flooded fields, affected farmworkers find jobs to be scarce. Organizers envision the consortium to continue working in disaster preparation and mitigation following the current response.
Swift action is necessary.
