Situation Overview
Airlink has launched a response to the devastating flooding in the Central Appalachia region of the United States. At least 37 people have died, hundreds remain missing, and thousands of people are without power. Floodwaters have washed out bridges and roadways, making rescues difficult in hard-to-reach areas. Hundreds of families have lost their homes and the recovery process will likely take years.
As the situation unfolds, Airlink is already working with its NGO partners to deploy skilled volunteers to eastern Kentucky to bring communities access to clean water, hot meals, and debris removal services as the floods recede.
Disaster Response. Step One. Get There.
Airlink is working with its NGO and airline partners to provide free-of-charge flights for responding personnel to fly to Vermont. The first supported group will be Minuteman Disaster Response to help them deploy their skilled volunteers to Barre, VT to assist residents affected by the flooding. Most recent reports show that more than 400 homes in the area were damaged or destroyed. Volunteers will be assisting with cleanup and muck-and-gut efforts in anticipation for the recovery and repair process.
