Nearly A Month Later, Red Cross Continues Helping People Following Helene’s Devastation in Georgia
Friday, October 25th, 2024
Affected communities are facing different struggles, and the timeline for recovery and what support they need will be different. While the current focus is on addressing the immediate needs of those affected, the Red Cross also plays a critical role in helping families and communities recover in the weeks and months after a disaster. Red Crossers and community partners have also been providing emergency relief items, including cleanup kits, comfort kits, and other supplies. To date, the Red Cross has delivered over 19,000 emergency supplies to Georgia communities.
