Our emergency response teams continue to witness horrific scenes in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Nearly 200 people are dead, a number we fear will continue to grow. Hundreds more are missing, and approximately a million people are still without power, with tens of thousands without access to running water.
In times of devastating disasters like Hurricane Helene, Americares is focused on meeting the most urgent needs and providing hope to communities when all feels lost. Our emergency teams are working around the clock to deliver critical medical supplies, provide clean water and restore access to health services.
