Florida: Hurricane Milton and Helene Relief
Our partners, All Hands and Hearts (AHAH), are in Florida responding to Hurricane Helene and Milton's devastating impacts. They are performing chainsaw work to remove fallen and hazardous trees, removing debris, mucking, gutting and doing mold sanitation to get community members back into their homes as soon as possible.
All Hands and Hearts was staged and ready to provide immediate relief before Hurricane Helene’s record-breaking landfall, first arriving in Pasco and Madison Counties, Florida, in the hours following Helene’s passage.
Less than two weeks later, while still engaged in immediate Hurricane Helene cleanup efforts in Florida, Hurricane Milton – the fastest intensifying Category 5 hurricane on record – began to close in on Florida, prompting the team’s evacuation. Anticipating severe damage, AHAH was prepared to return immediately after the storm, resuming critical cleanup and hazardous debris removal as part of the early stages of their 12-month response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
AHAH’s volunteer-powered disaster relief model has allowed them to quickly mobilize volunteers to assist affected communities. Hurricane Ian has created a tremendous need for support and volunteers to help these communities recover.
