ETSU Response: Florence

JOHNSON CITY (Sept. 14, 2018) – East Tennessee State University has activated its ETSU Response website to provide information on how to support those affected by Hurricane Florence. 

This storm, which made landfall today (Sept. 14) on the Carolina coast, is bringing heavy rains and storm surges and will continue to affect millions in the southeastern United States in the coming days.

The website, www.etsu.edu/response, gives the university and surrounding community ways to support those affected by Hurricane Florence. 

It provides a link to Charity Navigator, a website listing highly rated organizations set to respond in the aftermath of Florence with general aid and relief, medical services and more. A link to the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Information website allows prospective donors to review charity efforts to which they consider donating. 

Additional links can assist evacuees in locating housing and other resources, as well as connect ETSU students and employees who may be affected by Florence to support services at the university.

The ETSU Response website has been used several times in the past to give individuals a way to provide assistance for victims of disasters both near and far.
