Our Response
On the 11th December 2021, as many as 30 tornadoes swept through six US states: Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee. An estimated 89 people lost their lives, with 76 of those coming from Kentucky alone. The tornadoes left a deep trail of destruction, including widespread damage to homes and critical infrastructure.
Â
In the direct aftermath, Airlink quickly coordinated with its 130+ NGO partners to ready airlift for providing immediate needs including mass feeding, muck-and-gut, and home rebuild and repair.
Â
Airlink anticipates to be supporting rebuilding and recovery efforts for the next six to twelve months, and will likely provide over 200 flights for responders and long-term recovery teams.Â
Â
Airlink has provided flights to Kentucky for responders on behalf of its following NGO partners:Â
- All Hands and Hearts is providing support to safeguard personal belongings
- Heart to Heart International is providing medical careÂ
- Inspiritus is providing clean water, debris removal, and roof tarpingÂ
- IOCC (International Othodox Christian Charities) is providing muck-and-gut and home rebuild, repair services Â
