To our fellow Floridians...
Post-hurricane statement from Florida World Council for Health
In the wake of the recent hurricane, our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this devastating storm. As an organization committed to the well-being of our community, we stand in solidarity with those who are now facing the difficult task of recovery.
Our Commitment:
We understand the road to recovery can feel overwhelming, and we want to assure you that we are here to help. Whether it’s through offering resources, emotional support, or connecting individuals with the right relief efforts, we are dedicated to assisting our community in every way possible.
What You Can Do Now:
Prioritize Safety: Please continue to prioritize your safety. The aftermath of a hurricane can present hidden dangers, such as flooding, downed power lines, and structural damage. Be cautious and avoid unnecessary risks.
Check on Each Other: This is a time when our community’s strength matters most. Check in on your neighbors, especially the elderly, disabled, and those who may need extra assistance.
Access to Resources: Many are still without power, water, or essential supplies. If you are in need of assistance, or if you know someone who is, please reach out to local shelters and disaster relief organizations.
Emotional Well-being: The emotional toll of a disaster can be just as heavy as the physical damage. If you or anyone you know is struggling, we encourage you to seek out counseling or mental health resources. There are services available to help you cope with the stress and trauma of the storm.
Volunteer and Support: For those who are able, this is the time to come together and lend a hand. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading kindness, every small act of generosity makes a difference.
Looking Forward:
While the damage may seem overwhelming, we believe in the strength and resilience of our community. Together, we will rebuild and support one another through this challenging time.
Thank you for your courage, compassion, and determination as we navigate these difficult days together.
Stay safe, stay strong, and know that you are not alone.
Sincerely,
World Council for Health Florida
