Last weekend, Hurricane Isaias made landfall as a powerful Category 2 storm, leaving a trail of destruction across the Southeast.
Hundreds of thousands of people across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina have been impacted by this storm, experiencing home and property damage, extended power outages, and disruptions to key community infrastructure and daily life.
Before landfall, United Methodists in the Alabama-West Florida Conference prepared to provide immediate relief, and they are now quickly providing aid to those in need through the distribution of food, water, and UMCOR relief supplies, debris removal, roof tarping, and more. A solidarity grant from UMCOR is bolstering this work, ensuring relief is offered to as many people as possible.
As long-term needs across the region become clear, UMCOR will remain in close communication with United Methodist leaders in the affected annual conferences, ready to walk the road to recovery alongside those in need.
