Disaster Relief

Hurricane Florence pointed up the critical need for VA outreach programs to cope with disasters.

Hurricane Florence damaged much of on-base housing, forcing drastic actions to make room for troops and their families.

Many families face a permanent change of station in the years it will take the base to recover from hurricane damage.

Brewster Middle School sustained extensive water damage from Hurricane Florence, the parents said.

The mobile units offer care and prescriptions in areas still shut down by storm damage.

Marine units scheduled to deploy from Lejeune or train in other areas affected by last week's hurricane will have to wait.

Rainfall and rising water levels continue to threaten areas of the Carolinas four days after Florence made landfall.

The aftermath of Hurricane Florence has devastated VA services in North Carolina.
