Just a reminder - in the coming days, you'll be inundated with reminders/requests/hints to help the victims of Florence monetarily.
Be careful: while most are legit, many will be scams. Do your homework if you choose to donate your hard earned money.
Additionally, they may not even ask for donations, they may pull on your heartstrings to trick you into giving up pieces of your identity.
Give, but be smart in giving.
@0x56 Scammers come out of the woodwork after every natural disaster. Shameful way to make money.
@0x56 From the UK I will use D.E.C. to donate. They're about the safest. I'd recommend that to anyone outside the States.
