How to help victims of devastating Oklahoma tornado

The powerful hand of nature has decimated a massive swath of Oklahoma and nearly wiped an entire city off the map, leaving more than 200 people injured and another 91 feared dead.

Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City, was ravaged by the three-kilometre wide tornado on Monday afternoon, trapping residents in piles of rubble including an elementary school that took a direct hit.

U.S. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster and has ordered federal assistance to the region. From the president right down to average citizens, others are finding their own ways to give help to the damaged community.

The hashtag #PrayforOklahoma was trending on Twitter as members of the social media community sent their best wishes to those affected.

But you don't have to be an all-star baseball player like Matt Kemp to help out.

The City of Moore is urging those who would like to donate to visit the Red Cross. The organization says it has shelters open in the area and volunteers were out delivering food and supplies to the public and emergency responders.

The Salvation Army is also on the ground helping survivors in the wide disaster area and accepting donations. Major Steve Morris says the region needs a great deal of assistance.

“The devastation is far reaching both in human life, property and livestock loss,” Morris writes in a statement. “The Salvation Army is honored to serve and provide sustenance to first responders involved in search and rescue, coordination efforts and more. And, of course, all survivors will be provided spiritual and emotional care.”

The Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief is also on the ground and accepting donations. "May we be the hands and feet of Christ during these crucial days," executive director Dr. Anthony Jordan says in a statement.

More details on how Canadians can help in Oklahoma will be added as they arise.
