Update on Hurricanes Helene and Milton Response & How You Can Help

2024-10-10

CMAT wanted to provide an important update on our response to hurricanes Helene and Milton, which have severely impacted parts of the southeastern United States. As you may know, the situation on the ground remains dire, with significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and communities.

Unfortunately, due to professional and regulatory restrictions, CMAT is unable to deploy our Canadian medical teams to assist. However, we are working closely with our American partners and remain committed to supporting the response efforts in any way we can.

We encourage those of you who are eager to help, to consider donating to our verified PAHO Emergency Medical Team (EMT) partner organizations from the US, who are actively providing critical support in the affected areas.

These teams are working tirelessly to deliver medical aid, supplies, and assistance to communities in need: (links below) 

For those who wish to donate to CMAT for our ongoing preparations for disaster response and obtain a receipt for tax purposes, please visit our donations page at: www.cmat.ca/donate

Each of these organizations is making a significant difference on the ground, and your contributions will directly support their ongoing efforts.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support during these challenging times. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and help the affected communities recover.
