RE: Forecasting Active Disasters
There are a number of groups and charities that are assisting with disaster relief in Hawaii, but I decided to donate the earnings of this post to the Salvation Army through this link. They are currently providing food and water to evacuees and have a good charitable reputation.
For sake of transparency: I chose to do a direct dollar conversion of the total post payout rather than only using the author earnings. Instead of powering down or cashing out the SBD and paying an exchange fee, I am opting to leave the earnings in Steemit and instead paid for an equivalent donation out of pocket. Here is a capture of my emailed receipt!
Thanks to everyone who read this post or contributed their votes to this cause! The eruptions are still ongoing, so stay tuned for future updates.
