Help victims of the floods in Mexico

Emergency relief efforts are underway for thousands of people affected by a series of storms that caused the worst flooding in Mexico's history and tore through the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Cuba. Thousands are being evacuated to neighboring states while some 300,000 people remain trapped in their homes by the flooding.
