When a natural disaster strikes, 
it can leave tens of thousands of
families in need of help, but it can also 
bring out the best in the American people.
In this country, we look out for one another. 
We have each others' backs.
Because despite our differences, we are 
Americans first.  That's what Americans do.
These efforts are often led by 
the American Red Cross and other members
of the National Voluntary 
Organizations Active in Disasters.
These groups are on the ground from the very 
beginning of a crisis until long after the TV
cameras are gone, providing food, shelter and 
other services to those in need.
They do incredibe work but they can't do it 
alone. They need your support.
We can't always predict when the next natural 
disaster will happen, but if we do our part,
each of us, then together 
we can make a difference.
