Hurricane Debby: Pray for Those Impacted

Dear Friends,

This morning, Hurricane Debby made landfall along the Big Bend coast of Florida as a Category 1 storm, causing extensive flooding and widespread power outages across the region before it's path continued toward Georgia and South Carolina. According to the National Hurricane Center, Debby, the fourth named storm of what is expected to be a historic hurricane season, made landfall at 7 a.m near the coastal town of Steinhatchee with maximum wind speeds of 80 mph. As the storm's path continues, The National Weather Service is reporting a high risk of flash flooding over southeast and central Georgia on Monday and Tuesday. Officials expect between seven and 10 inches of rain with 13 or more inches possible in the extreme southeast central part of the state. Georgia Governor, Brian Kemp, has officially declared a State of Emergency.

WHAT WE ARE DOING:

Inspiritus Disaster Relief staff are closely monitoring the storms impact, and our teams are preparing to deploy wherever needed most. Our primary focus is on Georgia's east coast, particularly in and around the Savannah area, where Inspiritus offices are located. In anticipation of the storms arrival, Inspiritus offices in the Savannah coastal region are closed. If called to respond, we will provide updates as reports come in and as our teams begin their relief efforts on the ground. 

Thank you for your support.
 

Sincerely,

Virginia Spencer
Chief Development Officer
