Linkin Park and their Music for Relief organization are hard at work once again following Hurricane Sandy's destruction in both Haiti and the U.S. last week. Co-vocalist Mike Shinoda is raising awareness for Music for Relief's efforts, which will provide assistance to those in need in the aftermath of the natural disaster.

Shinoda says, "We really started the organization to provide relief in the wake of natural disasters, so when something like this happens, this is really what Music for Relief is designed for … Following Hurricane Sandy, we're going to work for people not only in the U.S., but also Haiti."

While most are aware of the destruction in the U.S., Hurricane Sandy also claimed the lives of 66 people in the Caribbean last week, and much like in the U.S., there have been major power outages. Shinoda reveals that Music for Relief has partnered with the Save the Children organization in the U.S. and the International Medical Corps in Haiti in their attempts to help out.

The vocalist says that he's been hearing from those affected by Sandy through Twitter. He says, "I was talking to fans the next morning and they were submitting pictures and telling stories and stuff. One thing that's nice to see is there are people who are a little more upbeat about it and making jokes about it, and they're not talking about something light, so that sense of perseverance is cool. But definitely people uploaded some pictures that were horrendous -- stuff underwater and cars basically demolished, destroyed by the hurricane. It's really scary stuff, especially when you see it on homeland soil, and I know that a lot of fans are trying to help out so that's why we're spreading the word about MusicForRelief.org."
