Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Hurricane Helene left a destructive path throughout the southeast US, making landfall as a Category 4 storm causing life threatening flooding and widespread damage. Communities throughout Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee remain in dire conditions.

Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton made landfall in the west coast of Florida, bringing catastrophic rainfall, triple digit wind gusts and storm surges. Milton barreled across the state to the the Atlantic, bringing with it an unprecedented tornado outbreak.

Operation USA is working with local partners to deliver emergency supplies to support those impacted by the massive storm. We are also making cash grants to those groups working directly with the many families in critical need. These supplies and grants are part of our initial commitment to providing timely disaster relief to communities in need.

Donations to our relief efforts will help expand our capacity to get aid into the hands of people in the hardest-hit communities rapidly and as they begin their long journey to recovery. Together, we can make a difference in the wake of this dangerous storm.
