The president heads to Texas on Tuesday to survey the damage from Hurricane Harvey. It will be a test of his young presidency to show empathy and competence in responding to a historic storm.

As the storm continues to dump rain on the Gulf Coast and floodwaters rise, many organizations are doing vital work to help save lives and give comfort. Here's how you can support those efforts.

Reservoirs swollen by rain from Hurricane Harvey were opened early Monday, a move that was expected to flood more homes — but one the Army Corps of Engineers says is needed to limit the disaster.

The storm made landfall as a Category 4 storm late Friday, becoming the strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. in a dozen years. More than 200,000 people were without power early Saturday.
