Where is the Red Cross after Hurricane Helene?

We’re in local communities across several states, working with partners to ensure people’s basic needs are met.

• In Florida, we’re distributing ready-to-eat meals and relief supplies — like clean-up items — to people who have returned and are beginning to pick up the pieces of their lives.

• In Georgia, we’re also assessing damage in communities and working with partners to distribute food while continuing to shelter many people.

• In South Carolina, we’re providing safe drinking water and cots to some line workers who are working to restore power in an affected area.

• Across several open shelters in Tennessee, we’re ensuring people’s basic needs are met with food, emotional support and more.

• In North Carolina, we’re deploying dozens of emergency response vehicles daily with emergency supplies and opening shelters as needed to support the growing needs of those affected. We’re also supporting reunification efforts for those still missing loved ones.

Our work doesn’t stop there — disaster teams are also helping people in Virginia and Ohio who were affected by the remnants of the storm.

People affected by Helene urgently need help now, and we can’t do this alone. You can make a difference today by donating on this post or texting the word HELENE to 90999.
