We greatly appreciate everyone who has reached out about volunteering. At this time, we are still conducting searches of the damaged areas. We will be sure to communicate when volunteers are needed and what they are needed for as soon as we get to that point.

A devastating tornado recently swept through West Omaha, leaving behind significant damage. NHS can take in any animals that need emergency shelter. If you need assistance, please call Animal Control at 402-444-7800 ext. 1.

Today’s historic tornadoes have devastated communities across our state — but Nebraskans are resilient and strong and will respond as we always do by working together.
