Disaster Relief Efforts to Effectively Help a Community
Frances Robles, New York Times reporter covering criminal justice, the Caribbean and Central America, reports from San Juan on how Puerto Rico is weathering Hurricane Irma. Plus, people's first response to a disaster if often a Red Cross donation, but in the last few years some reporting has raised questions about how the organization manages those donations. Stacy Palmer, editor of the Chronicle of Philanthropy, talks about its role in disaster response and best practices for donations.Â
