This #HelpChennai page is an attempt to connect those who need help with those who are in a position to provide. IBNLive will try to validate requests for responders to reach out effectively.
Individuals, corporates and non-profit groups seeking to volunteer or help are welcome to join.
Update: We have received hundreds of emails and messages on our social media accounts asking for help. As we are unable to individually seek help for each, we are forwarding many of the requests to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's office and to the NDRF. You can also email your queries directly to the NDRF on [email protected].
You can reach us on Twitter via @ibnlive, email via [email protected] or use the comments form below. We will also post information on those seeking and willing to give help on this page and other platforms
(Note that to aid communication and help we may post phone numbers and other contact information on this page and on our social networks. In case you don't want some information to be published, do let us know.)
