Droughts and flooding rains

[vanessarama]

In news outside of myself, bloody hell. Queensland Police Service has just urged residents in low-lying areas between Gatton and Ipswich to immediately self-evacuate to higher ground. Huge wall of water in Toowoomba. Look at the vid on that page. These floods. It's unbelieveable.

For those outside Oz; the flood-affected area is larger than France and Germany combined.

Is there any specific place we can send a donation to help? Anyplace you'd recommend? Usually we give to the Red Cross or Doctors Without Borders.

Thanks.

No, thank *you*.

The main appeal is the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal. The Red Cross will manage the distribution of those funds, so they have not set up an appeal themselves. I don't think any international agencies are accepting donations for the floods at this stage.
