Direct Relief Is Actively Responding to the Devastating Texas Floods
Catastrophic flooding in Central Texas has already claimed fatalities, with many more still missing. Entire communities have been upended, and search and rescue teams are working urgently to locate survivors.
With more than 75 years of experience responding to disasters around the world—including hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and humanitarian crises—Direct Relief is uniquely positioned to respond quickly and effectively in times of crisis. Direct Relief’s initial response includes providing operating support and unlocked access to its $90 million medical inventory to aid the emergency response. The organization is actively working with local and state partners, including:
• Texas Search & Rescue (TEXSAR)
• Texas EquuSearch
• Kerr County Sheriff’s Office
• National and Texas associations of community health centers
• National and Texas associations of free and charitable clinics
As a trusted healthcare responder in Texas and across the U.S., Direct Relief ensures that critical medical care reaches those most impacted by this unprecedented flooding.
All donations made here will go directly to support Direct Relief’s emergency preparedness and disaster work in Texas.
Thank you for partnering with Direct Relief!
