Officials said, "Whether or not you're able to donate supplies or money, we ask you to join us in keeping the affected families as well as the countless people assisting with relief efforts in your thoughts and prayers. The recovery will likely take years and many of these people are witnessing unimaginable tragedy firsthand."
