Expecting the unexpected when disaster strikes
Weary residents in the southeast United States are preparing for the inevitable destruction of Hurricane Milton just two weeks after Hurricane Helene claimed at least 230 lives and billions of dollars in property damage.
Area tribes not directly affected by the storm double-punch are offering aid and assessing their own disaster preparedness in light of the devastation.
Join Native America Calling to hear from other tribal emergency management officials about their own evolving disaster plans.
