NACDS Members Respond to Hurricane Helene, Impending Hurricane Milton

In collaboration with federal and state public health partners, emergency preparedness authorities, local organizations and businesses and more, NACDS member companies are responding quickly to help support disaster relief across Hurricane Helene-hit communities.

Hurricane Helene - which struck the Southeast coast as a powerful Category 4 storm on September 24 - has had devastating impacts on communities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Virginia.

NACDS member pharmacies are working to meet the ongoing needs of people affected by Hurricane Helene. They are also stepping up in preparation for Hurricane Milton - another powerful storm projected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday evening. Share company updates: [email protected].
