American Red Cross teams are actively engaged in locating Florida residents who have gone missing in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, a devastating Category 3 storm that wreaked havoc across the state, causing widespread destruction of homes and leaving many individuals displaced or trapped.
The impact of the hurricane has resulted in extensive power outages and limited internet connectivity in various communities, rendering some residents unable to reach out to their friends and family members for assistance or updates on their well-being.
To address this urgent need, families who are struggling to establish contact with their loved ones can seek help by submitting a request on the American Red Cross's official website. The organization's efforts extend beyond Florida, as they continue to work diligently to locate missing individuals in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which affected residents in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Providing critical support to those impacted by the hurricanes, the American Red Cross has reported that they are currently assisting 83,000 individuals who sought refuge in evacuation shelters in Florida. As the situation gradually improves, the organization plans to deploy numerous emergency response vehicles to navigate through the affected neighborhoods, delivering essential meals and relief supplies to those in need.
