Learn how you can help those impacted by the devastation from Hurricane Helene.

Hurricane Helene is one of the deadliest storms to ever hit the United States, leaving behind hundreds of miles of catastrophic damage and changing lives forever. The American Red Cross has launched a massive response to ensure no one faces this challenging time alone. Across the Southeast, hundreds of people are still missing, and damaged roads and bridges have cut off entire communities, making it difficult to get help to those areas. People need water, food, medicine and medical care. Tens of thousands of homes have been affected and some 1.3 million customers — about 4 million people — are still without power. People affected by Hurricane Helene need urgent help now. You can help by making a financial donation by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) or texting the word HELENE to 90999. Financial donations for Hurricane Helene enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from this disaster.

Always a quick and effective way to help those in disaster's path.

🚨 Situation Report 🚨 On October 9, Hurricane Milton struck Florida as a Category 3 storm, causing extensive damage. Tornadoes and flooding left over 3.3 million without power and at least nine dead, with 11 million at risk of further flooding. FEMA deployed over 1,000 management staff and 1,200 search and rescue personnel from other agencies. This hurricane follows Hurricane Helene, marking the shortest interval between major hurricanes in Florida’s history. CWS is actively engaging with local authorities and collaborating with fellow organizations. Additionally, individuals can contribute by making donations to support these efforts. follow this link to donate https://bit.ly/4dGww35

It's been over a week since Hurricane Helene made downfall and you no doubt have seen the devastation it has caused. But some things you may not realize: - This is the strongest hurricane to EVER hit Florida's Big Bend Region - Wreckage is being experienced from across 10 states and 800 miles - Entire communities were destroyed, millions are still without power, tens of thousands of homes have been affected, and hundreds of people are still reported as missing. - The American Red Cross has launched a massive relief response spanning 10 states, 1300 disaster responders, 100 emergency response vehicles and 70 shelters for 2,500+ people. More than 4,000 requests (and growing) have come in to the Red Cross for reunification help, and Red Cross staff are working closely with local utilities and emergency management officials to get help where it's needed. Please join this call to action for American Red Cross of Utah to reach $1 million in contributions by this weekend to aid relief efforts in this catastrophic disaster. I am so proud of how this organization "just shows up" when needed, but there is so much more help that is needed this time around. Please consider donating, whether it's to the Utah chapter or another near you! The urgency is now being driven by Tropical Storm Milton, which formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday, is expected to become a hurricane today. The storm is expected to pose a major hurricane threat to Florida by midweek, just over a week after Helene pushed through the region. The current forecast includes a major hurricane—some models are predicting a Category 5—into Tampa, FL.  

Together we made a difference. Anyone can make change but real leaders make a difference. Be a difference maker.

Hurricane Milton is bearing down on Florida. And it’s time for decisive action. Here are three critical steps every CEO must take TODAY to support their team, clients, and community: Reach out to potentially impacted team members: • Don't show that you care about their safety and well-being. Do care • Offer support, resources, and flexibility as they prepare and recover. Contact clients in the hurricane's path: • Check on their status. • Offer assistance where possible. • Communicate any service impacts. Rally your team to help the community: • Organize donations. • Volunteer efforts. • Leverage company resources to make a positive impact. For those outside the hurricane zone, your support is still crucial: • Organize supply drives. • Donate to reputable disaster relief organizations. • Offer remote support to impacted colleagues. • Share verified information to raise awareness. In times of adversity, how we respond defines us. #HurricaneRelief #LeadershipInAction #FloridaStrong

The images over the last few weeks from Hurricane Helene and the devastating impacts the storm has had on the communities of Western North Carolina, and the nearby states of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia have demonstrated the critical need for communities to support each other in times of crisis. As members of the transportation community, we regularly rise to the occasion when crises occur to our people or to the infrastructure that we maintain so people can go about their daily lives. In this time of great need in these states, we ask that you rise to the occasion again and consider contributing to organizations helping in the recovery and rebuilding of communities in Western North Carolina and all of the states experiencing the devastating events of the last few weeks.
