Turkey and Syria Earthquakes: Resources and Open Thread

[LindseyKirchoff]

With the terrible earthquakes in the Turkey, Syria, and Afghanistan, we wanted to provide a open thread on how to help. What have your organizations been doing? Are there any resources that you'd like to share? Who do you think is doing humanitarian relief well?

Let us know in the comments below! 

In the meantime, here are some helpful resources from the P1 community: 

We've run a Humanitarian Relief series for the past year with speakers from Welcome.us, RefugePoint, and the Norwegian Refugee Council. It also features case studies from companies like Unity and Twilio. Check out the resource hub here!
