In August, AmeriCorps also **deployed disaster response teams** to communities impacted by disasters in Florida and Hawaii. Thirty-seven AmeriCorps members and several members of staff helped provide relief to communities suffering from the Maui wildfires and the impact of Hurricane Idalia. One AmeriCorps NCCC team continues to serve in Hawaii.

“When disaster strikes, AmeriCorps responds. Recently, Hawaii and Florida have been struck with devastating disasters and AmeriCorps quickly deployed members and staff to assist in the long road to recovery,” **said Michael D. Smith, CEO, AmeriCorps**. “We remain dedicated to providing support and relief to communities with the most need, and right now those impacted by Hurricane Idalia and the Hawaii wildfires have an immense need. We are on the ground, doing everything we can to support these communities and will be there for as long as we’re needed.”
