Before Idalia made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane, The Salvation Army had mobile feeding units and Incident Management teams staged in both Florida and Georgia, ready to wait out the storm and respond as quickly as possible to the needs of survivors and first responders.
Teams were then able to distribute hot meals and cold drinks in areas with no power or ability to cook as well as shelf-stable meals that could be saved for another day. Alongside meals, Salvation Army EDS specialists offered Emotional and Spiritual Care to survivors processing trauma. Even in a drive through distribution, with little time for extended conversation, teams tried to check on survivors as they served.
