In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, the American Red Cross has worked closely with partners to provide emergency shelter, food, water, relief supplies, emotional support and health services to people in need. Thanks to our generous donors, the Red Cross is putting emergency financial assistance into the hands of Florida residents whose homes were severely impacted. Learn more at RedCross.org/Ian.
This financial assistance will allow people to make their own decisions and prioritize what their family needs most to start recovering. Funds can help families replace clothes or food, offset transportation costs, or support any other immediate need. Spending these funds locally will also support local communities as they begin recovering. Those who may not meet the criteria for financial assistance will have the opportunity to connect with other Red Cross and community resources and referrals.
We also strongly encourage people who were affected by Hurricane Ian to apply for federal Disaster Assistance at disasterassistance.gov or by calling 800-621-3362.
Additional assistance for those affected by Hurricane Ian can be accessed through the Red Cross Resource Directory.
