The Southeast has experienced a series of severe weather events in recent months, from coastal storms to inland flooding. Community Action Agencies are playing a critical role in disaster response and emergency support — providing urgent services such as temporary housing assistance, utility support, food distribution, and coordinated referrals.

These agencies leverage local partnerships with governments, nonprofits, and faith-based organizations across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee to make sure services reach those most at risk: seniors, families with children, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

Community Action’s disaster response activity demonstrates how strong local networks, trusted staff, and sustained funding translate into real help for residents during moments of crisis.

Residents in need of support after recent severe weather events are encouraged to contact their local Community Action Agency for assistance.
