    Thanks for your interest and desire to help the flood victims.

    Another great way to donate even more is through Save Vernazza. I have donation info posted here along with info about the floods, pictures and videos, and first hand stories. Thanks everyone!

    Thanks, lifetimetravels, this is absolutely true. Though Save Vernazza just goes to the one flooded area, whereas the red cross donations go to the sum of the affected towns.
