Quick Facts

Direct Relief is working closely with the Florida Association of Community Health Centers and the Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics to ensure essential medical supplies reach vulnerable populations.

Emergency medical supplies were strategically placed in storm-prone areas across the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Caribbean. Many clinics in Milton’s projected path were already equipped with these emergency modules.

Direct Relief will continue assessing the needs of impacted areas and providing resources such as emergency medical supplies, hygiene kits, and transportation support.
