Working in cooperation with the Red Cross, FEMA, and local and state authorities, thousands of national service volunteers have contributed to the hurricane relief and recovery effort across the country. They have established and operated shelters, provided meals and social services to evacuees, assisted with communications, coordinated the warehousing and distribution of donated goods, answered phones, cleared debris, provided information on housing and other resources, organized children’s activities, raised funds, and managed community volunteers, among other activities.

The information included in the following tables has been self-reported by grantees and projects of the Corporation. This data will be updated periodically as the deployments and activities in the Gulf region are constantly changing.
