Disaster Response Funding For Hurricanes Milton & Helene and How to Help
Updates: October 09, 2024
Hurricanes Milton & Helene, which made landfall in Florida, began as a category four hurricane and became the most powerful on record to hit Florida's Big Bend before moving north into Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Tennessee. The storm, which downgraded to a tropical storm on Friday, has led to severe flooding and mudslides. Although Helene has moved past North Carolina, its effects are still deeply felt across the region. As of this month, more than 1600 people are unaccounted for following the storm and a death toll of over 150, while 2.5 million people are without power across multiple states.
