In order to better assist those in need, a\u00a0Disaster Help Request Form\u00a0is available at http:\/\/www.chesco.org\/DocumentCenter\/View\/15727<\/a>. Organizations that serve vulnerable populations are asked to utilize the Disaster Help Request form to help them report damages and needs.\u00a0 The information will be sent to organizations that will be able to meet the needs of the help request.\u00a0Volunteer agencies have already started working in Chester County, the release said.<\/p>\n
