Using the Availability/Needs list

How to find which facilities have or need particular items and services.

Find items and services

  • Use the Find support links in the header (Meals, Housing, Medical and more) to jump to common categories.
  • After choosing a category, select an item button to narrow the list to that item, or use More items to search all items in the category.
  • Filter any column, such as State, City/Town or Category, with the filter icon in its header.

Read the list

  • Available shows what a facility has to offer; Needed shows what it is asking for, with quantities when known.
  • Urgency shows how pressing a need is.
  • Last Update is when the entry last changed. Situations change quickly, so contact the facility before travelling or shipping.
  • Select a facility's name to see its details, and use Need matches or Availability matches there to find facilities that can help each other.
