As Hurricane Helene's devastating impact continues to be felt across several states, NATCA's Disaster Response Committee (DRC) has been working tirelessly to support affected members. The committee has successfully reached out to members in some of the hardest-hit areas, including Asheville ATCT (AVL), Augusta ATCT (AGS), and Greenville-Spartanburg ATCT (GSP). Supplies are being transported by air and ground, and the response effort is ongoing.

Unfortunately, the need for assistance continues to grow. With roads still closed in North Carolina, volunteers and donations to the fund are essential in getting supplies to those in need.

As flights and donations continue daily from facilities across the region, the DRC is urging members who can assist to volunteer or contribute to the relief effort. Donations are being accepted via PayPal, payroll deduction, and GoFundMe, or by sending personal checks to the NATCA Disaster Relief Fund.

The DRC also encourages members to check in with them, especially those in affected areas like AVL, GSP, AGS, Tallahassee ATCT (TLH), and Tampa TRACON/ATCT (TPA). As the relief effort expands, members can help by volunteering, contributing financially, or reaching out if they are in need.
