Hurricane Helene: How funders can support recovery

Hurricane Helene was a monster storm, one of the biggest on record to hit the U.S. It made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Perry, Florida on Sept. 26, bringing devastating, widespread impacts across Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and beyond.

While Helene’s full impacts won’t be known for days, CDP recognizes that the storm hit communities affected by other hurricanes, as recently as Hurricane Debby last month. When communities get hit repeatedly, they can’t fully recover before the next blow. This diminishes resilience and increases the need for funders to enhance available resources.

By the end of this webinar, donors will:

• Understand the most urgent and ongoing needs in affected communities.
• Learn how chronic and repetitive disasters create additional needs.
• Be aware of ways they can invest funds to support community needs.
