Hurricane Melissa
Discover highly rated charities actively providing relief and recovery to those impacted by Hurricane Melissa.
Hurricane Melissa struck the Caribbean as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, making it one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record. The storm inflicted widespread devastation across Jamaica and Cuba, bringing sustained winds, massive life-threatening flooding, destructive mudslides, and storm surge. In Haiti and the Dominican Republic, torrential rainfall has tragically triggered deadly landslides and mass displacement.
Communities across the Northern Caribbean now face immense humanitarian needs, including securing emergency shelter, potable water, food aid, and essential medical care. As immediate disaster relief efforts are underway, the long-term recovery and rebuilding process in these countries will require sustained support.
To help direct your generosity, Charity Navigator is actively monitoring the situation and has curated a comprehensive list of highly rated organizations providing effective disaster relief for those impacted by Hurricane Melissa. This resource will be continuously updated to reflect evolving needs, focusing on both immediate assistance and crucial long-term recovery support for victims.
