SIESTA KEY, Fla. – With more than 3 million people without power following Hurricane Milton’s landfall and subsequent pounding of central Florida, Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) is ready to deploy meals as early as Saturday through its partnerships with The Salvation Army and American Red Cross.
“Ahead of every storm, Send Relief and SBDR stage resources and identify locations where we can establish response sites,” said Coy Webb, crisis response director for Send Relief. “Florida Baptists are still conducting initial assessments to determine locations of greatest need in the aftermath of the storm.”
