As residents of Texas began the process of restoring their homes damaged by Hurricane Harvey, Indian-Americans and their community organisations are also doing their bit by providing relief materials and working tirelessly to clean up the mess caused by the storm. Nearly two weeks after Harvey made landfall in Texas, mounds of garbage, sheet-rock clusters, computer monitors and furniture still cover the sidewalks. <br/><br/>The efforts of government agencies including the federal, state, county and city, police, coast guard, armed forces, Red Cross and others have been phenomenal in saving lives and providing for the needs of those who got trapped in the hurricane.<br/>As families start to move back into the houses, more than 800 volunteers of different Indian non-profit groups coordinated by Sewa International are helping people clean up the mess that catastrophic floods have left behind. Volunteers helped clean up more than 200 mobile homes and trailer homes belonging to the community members.<br/>Indian restaurants have also opened up their kitchens to provide hot meals at various shelters. <br/>Indo-American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston is also reaching out to Small Business Administration and plans to work closely with its District Director Tim Jeffcoat to organise seminars for business loans across the various areas in the region affected. ISKCON temple has been serving meals since the day Hurricane Harvey hit Houston.
