Hi All,I've discovered today that The New York City Office of Emergency Management
has put out a call for items essential to the rescue efforts going on in
lower Manhattan.
Items needed include:
dust masks, work gloves
safety goggles, hard hats
work boots (adult sizes), socks (adult sizes)
underwear (men's and women's), rain ponchos
sweatshirts, sweatpants
tooth paste, tooth brushes, mouth wash, eye wash, etc.
It doesn't mention t-shirts, but I bet those couldn't hurt either.
