"Donations raised here will be used to provide relief and financial support to the victims and families of the horrific shooting," the GoFundMe page reads.

More than $94,000 has already been raised on the website.

Several organizations have partnered with groups like Public Good to direct people toward verified, trustworthy charities.

Individuals who need emotional or psychological help should be referred to counseling and mental health services in the area.

Authorities such as Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel have urged people to report suspicious activity or unusual behavior that they believe might be a precursor to violence. You can report anything concerning to the FBI on their official tip line for the Parkland shooting.
