In the 84 hurricane that hit RI, Robert, IIRC, we were without power
for close to a week, and it would have been longer had not the linemen
from Canada come down to lend a hand.

RI sent a crew or two of linemen down to the Gulf Coast to lend a
hand, and there was a list of 15 or 20 agencies (Including Second
Harvest) that is collecting funds to purchase aid for the folks who
are in need.
