Many on the gulf coast are being told to evacuate. Those in the storm’s path can see which counties should evacuate here: https://lnkd.in/dWKCVyV, and call 800-729-3413 for evacuation assistance. You can donate to support relief efforts here: - Convoy of Hope: https://lnkd.in/exiYR6g9  - World Central Kitchen: https://lnkd.in/egv4r3mx Because we work with multiple companies in the greentech space, we think and talk a lot about climate. At times, the complex science and scale of climate change can be hard to wrap our heads around. Moments like this provide a stark reminder of the human cost. Our thoughts and love are with all those affected by these storms.

Hurricane Helene has left a path of destruction across the U.S., displacing thousands of families, flooding homes, and disrupting entire communities. The sheer scale of the damage has overwhelmed local resources and pushed relief efforts to the brink. Many communities are still without basic necessities like food, water, and power. While some aid is arriving, there’s a long road ahead for those affected by the storm. Hurricane Helene has devastated Asheville and surrounding areas in Western North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia, causing severe flooding, displacing thousands, and overwhelming local resources. Communities are struggling with food, water, and power shortages, and aid has been slow due to impassable roads and logistical delays. Emergency shelters are filling up, and more support is urgently needed. If you’re looking to contribute to the relief efforts in North Carolina, your donation can make a big difference. Here are some trusted organizations actively working on the ground to help : https://lnkd.in/gzaY_-dD https://lnkd.in/gE5GRWNH

Where is the Red Cross after Hurricane Helene? We’re in local communities across several states, working with partners to ensure people’s basic needs are met. • In Florida, we’re distributing ready-to-eat meals and relief supplies — like clean-up items — to people who have returned and are beginning to pick up the pieces of their lives. • In Georgia, we’re also assessing damage in communities and working with partners to distribute food while continuing to shelter many people. • In South Carolina, we’re providing safe drinking water and cots to some line workers who are working to restore power in an affected area. • Across several open shelters in Tennessee, we’re ensuring people’s basic needs are met with food, emotional support and more. • In North Carolina, we’re deploying dozens of emergency response vehicles daily with emergency supplies and opening shelters as needed to support the growing needs of those affected. We’re also supporting reunification efforts for those still missing loved ones. Our work doesn’t stop there — disaster teams are also helping people in Virginia and Ohio who were affected by the remnants of the storm. People affected by Helene urgently need help now, and we can’t do this alone.

Consider making a donating to the American Red Cross and Americares to support people affected by Hurricane Helene, as well as those who may be affected by the impending Hurricane Milton. The scale of the devastation caused by Helene is difficult to comprehend. Florida's west coast is preparing itself yet again for the potential consequences of Hurricane Milton. The aftermath of these storms will leave an impact for many years to come. It is in difficult times like this that we should consider what we can do to help those who need it most. Even a small act of kindness can have a tremendous impact. Here are links to the organizations Watts contributed to and their relief response plans just so you are aware: 🔴Hurricane Helene Relief Information | Redcross: https://lnkd.in/eBDvpvQV 🔴Response to Hurricane Helene | Americares: https://lnkd.in/eV3rsZrZ This is a link to vetted organizations and charities (but is no means comprehensive) that are responding to the Hurricane Helene Disaster. 🔴Hurricane Helene | Charity Navigator: https://lnkd.in/gB7KTFgU

Tuesday evening, about an hour before sunset, and we still remain in the calm before hurricane Milton comes ashore sometime late tomorrow on the West Coast of Florida. Now is not the time to become complacent, this storm can slow down or speed up, it can veer a little to the south or it could move to the north overnight. It’s only until we get into tomorrow that we will really have a good idea of exactly where the storm will make landfall. For those of us in Florida the time to provision is pretty much over, last minute storm preparation through the evening and into tomorrow morning is advised. 48 hours from now, some of us will have power and life will go on more or less normally while a significant number of our fellow Floridians are going to be struggling in blackout conditions, with no power and no air conditioning, in 90% humidity and 90° temperatures, food supplies thawing out and starting to go bad, water in the home, debris scattered around the yards and neighborhoods, a sense of loss and hopelessness as mother nature takes away our perceived control over our lives. This is when we as a community must come together to help those that are less fortunate than ourselves. I think it’s safe to say we can’t depend on our federal government/FEMA for immediate assistance and relief. We will need to depend upon our neighbors, upon our families, upon our communities to be self-sufficient and help those in need. Once the storm passes if you feel compelled to help and make donations, I recommend you donate to local churches and the international Red Cross. #disasterrelief #floridastrong #hurricanemilton #winningtogether #yachtingusa #maritimeindustry #yachtingindustry
