I got an email requesting volunteers to go to Northwest Missouri and sandbag the Mississippi River. If I wasn't neck deep in three projects, I think I would go.
==================================================
Dear Charles,
The floodwaters are quickly rising in northeast Missouri, and
the Mississippi River is on course to reach near-record
levels. During this emergency, our neighbors are counting
on our help to protect their homes, businesses and
communities.
Today, I'm heading up to northeast
Missouri to help with the sandbagging efforts in Clarksville,
Hannibal and West Quincy. And if you can spare a few hours
in the next day or two, I'm asking you to pitch in as
well. All along the river, Missouri communities need our
help right away. You can find updated lists of volunteer
requests here:

Missouri's
211 hotline also can direct you to volunteer opportunities in
the area.
Your service will make a
difference. Thank you for helping your neighbors in this
time of urgent need.
Sincerely,
Jay Nixon
Missouri Attorney General
