Disaster Recovery: Finding Assistance & Resources

What's Next?

If your home suffered extensive damage from a disaster event, the cost to repair the structure may trigger your local municipality’s requirement to upgrade to current codes and standards.

What You Can Do to Help Communities Affected by Hurricane Dorian

Volunteer

If you're interested in volunteering but don't have an organization that you usually work with, you can go to VolunteerSC.org to sign-up for volunteer opportunities hosted by reputable agencies active during disaster recovery. Additional opportunities will arise once flood waters recede and damage assessments take place in affected areas.

Agencies who can host volunteers for recovery-related activities are also encouraged to register and share their volunteer needs.

Donate

United Way Association of South Carolina has established a Hurricane Dorian Long-Term Recovery Fund for communities affected by the storm and flood waters. This fund will help local United Ways in South Carolina meet the storm-related needs and support mid- and long-term recovery efforts throughout the affected regions of our state. With your support, we can help rebuild communities. 100% of individual donations given to the United Ways of South Carolina Hurricane Dorian Recovery Fund will be distributed to local United Ways in the affected areas.

Click the Donate button above.

 

We will continue to update this page with resources and information from local United Ways in South Carolina communities affected by flooding.
