You want to help people displaced by Harvey. Where will you do the most good?

Each pin on the map below represents a shelter or organization that's helping evacuees displaced by Harvey flooding. Click on a pin, and you'll see whether the site needs volunteers, and what supplies it most needs.

The interactive map was created by and is updated by volunteers from Sketch City, a local nonprofit group of techies who aim to make the world a better place. Amanda Shih, Dr. Neeraj Tandon and Chris Ertel did the coding; and dozens of volunteers (some from Houston, some not) are making the phone calls that keep it fresh.

If you're spreadsheet-savvy and can add to and update this map, Sketch City, the Chronicle and Houston welcome your help.

And if you want to join Sketch City on other Harvey-related tech projects, you can find them on Slack.

Editor's note: Sketch City volunteers are updating the list as fast as they can. But like everything else with this wretched flood, the situation changes quickly: A shelter may receive a big donation, so that it no longer needs, say, diapers; or a wave of volunteers may suddenly materialize. We recommend that you call the shelter before you travel there.
