What can we do to help MA recover?

While Vermont has been getting much of the press, "West County" in Massachusetts was hit just as hard. Last I knew, the National Guard is still living in Mohawk Trail Middle School, Route 2 is closed west of Charlemont, and parts of Hawley are cut off from civilization.

Significant damage from flooding in Buckland, Charlemont, Colrain, Hawley, Heath, and Shelburne.

The Shelburne Falls Area Business Association has set up the "West County Relief Fund" and is taking donations:

Nothing serious, fortunately. They were more focussed on helping with the relief effort. I believe they're reopening for ziplining this weekend.

Good to hear. I imagine that they're a big part of the local economy.

Some friends posted a few pictures from the mountain on Facebook. From the looks of it most of the damage was trail erosion near the bottom of war dance. Easily fixable I think. Not sure about higher up on the mountain.
