ELLICOTT CITY, MD - A message previously posted on the popular social networking site Facebook from Howard County Executive Ken Ulman regarding Howard County and its readiness to assist in Haiti.
Watching the coverage of the earthquake in Haiti and the devastation it wrought, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti as they struggle to recover from this terrible tragedy. Howard County, like the rest of America, stands with Haiti in the hour of its greatest need.
Many have asked me what they can do to provide assistance to the relief effort. There are several organizations that have already mobilized resources and are on the ground in Haiti right now. Below is a list of some of these organizations and links to ways you can support their critical work.
In addition, we are in immediate contact with state and federal authorities, and the County stands ready to help in whatever way we can.
Thank you for your time and attention to this very important matter.
Ken
