Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief When various Weather, Natural and Man-Made Disasters strike, people are often found to have lost everything they may own. Families who once had a house, all its contents and their family treasures, their vehicles, family pets, and even sometimes other family members may be lost, all in mere seconds. Often times, whole neighborhoods or towns may be destroyed, leaving dozens, or even hundreds at a loss for anything meaningful left in their lives.   Lives are forever changed in an instant when these type disasters strike. It is at times like these when people are found to be in the greatest need. Local, County, State, and Federal Resources are overwhelmed and over-burdened.  Man-Power and Resources are stretched thin.   ALERT 1 WEATHER regularly dedicates a large portion of its activities, services, resources, and man-power to helping these people in their time of need.   We evaluate each event and the needs and decide our best course of action to reach out to help these people. Through our various staff and volunteer services and other resources, we provide aid such as; clothing, food, shelter, emergency medical and prescription aid, and emergency funds to help carry these people over until they can start to rebuild their lives.     What if this were your house, your neighborhood, one of your family members or friends?  W here would you go? What would you do? What do you do to start over?     Our goals are to help anyone, anywhere, in their hour of need.   Our needs are large and many to meet the continuous needs that these people require just to survive one day to the next as they seek a way to carry-on and start over with their lives.    Since we are recognized as a true Non-Profit Charitable 501 (c) (3) Organization as defined by the IRS and our staff and workers are all volunteer, you can be assured that your donation will go directly to help those in need.      Will you please make a tax deductible donation so that we can continue to help those in need?

Do You, Your Family,  Civic Group, Church, Business, Organization have Advance Severe Weather and Disaster Plans in place? Do you have a designated place ready to go to in the event Severe Weather or a Disaster strikes? Does each member of your family know where to go and what to do in the event of Severe Weather or Disaster?  Do you have enough emergency supplies stored in your safe location for each person in the event of an emergency? Do you know what amounts of water, lights, blankets, personal needs, first aid kits, and other supplies are needed and recommended? If you are a business, church, group, or any other organization, are all of your members or employees aware of what to do and where to go? Is the Designated Safe Location clearly marked and easily accessible at your business and / or public building? Is someone at your organization responsible for monitoring the weather situation when there is a potential for Severe Weather? Do you and your organization have an Emergency Warning Radio that will automatically alert you in case of a potential Severe Weather Event? If it is not plugged in and the batteries are not good, it can not help save your life. Are your plans geographically  specific to the type of potential Severe Weather or Disaster you may encounter? Different areas of the United States and even within individual cities, various plans may be necessary. Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Floods, Earthquakes, Wildfires,  and Winter Weather Events may each require different advance planning in various areas.
