As communities begin to assess the damage from Hurricane Debby, our hearts are with those affected by this storm. Tidal Basin is on the ground, working alongside the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) in their State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to provide support and guidance during this challenging time. Staying informed and connected is crucial in dealing with the challenges ahead. Our partner, Local Relief, Inc., a nonprofit crisis communications mobile app that connects impacted residents with disaster relief resources in their local area, has also been providing support in the SEOC. If you’ve been impacted by Debby or want to be prepared for the next storm, download the Local Relief app, readily available on the Apple Store and Google Play.

It’s been inspiring to see the level of support from the industry, including many of our partners and industry colleagues. We will continue to support Floridians in any way we can to help them recover stronger. Together, we will be Stronger than Before. #HurricaneDebby #EmergencyResponse #DisasterRecovery

Thank you for the update, Tidal Basin Group.
2024’s first major Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Beryl, made landfall today as a powerful Category 4 storm. The eyewall of Hurricane Beryl was last reported as moving through the southern Windward Islands, with maximum sustained winds near 140 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. Residents in Grenada, the Grenadine Islands, and Carriacou Island should remain in shelter. Jamaica has issued a Hurricane Watch for the island, with hurricane warnings in effect for Barbados, St. Vincent, the Grenadine Islands, Grenada, and Tobago. Beryl will retain its power as it moves across the Caribbean Sea towards Mexico. The storm is not anticipated to affect the U.S. The busy Atlantic hurricane season is officially in full swing! Our Tidal Basin team continually monitors storms as they form and progress, ensuring we're ready and on standby to assist affected communities when they need us.
