IEM contributed $50,000 to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to support recovery from Hurricane Helene, and $50,000 to the Florida Disaster Fund to support recovery from Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
Both states experienced significant damage and loss, with entire communities facing the daunting task of rebuilding. IEM has employees deployed across the Southeast to assist state and local governments in supporting and augmenting their response and recovery operations.
“The destruction caused by Hurricanes Milton and Helene left individuals, families, and communities with an overwhelming recovery ahead,” said Bryan Koon, IEM President and CEO. “We are honored to support the communities where we live and work. North Carolina and Florida are home to many of our team members, and our team is working closely with local leaders to ensure that these areas recover and rebuild stronger after the storms.”
“With over 40 years of experience in disaster recovery, IEM understands the long-term needs of communities facing recovery from catastrophic events. This donation is part of our broader commitment to building resilience nationwide,” said Madhu Beriwal, IEM Founder and Chairwoman.
“On behalf of Volunteer Florida, we would like to thank IEM for their generous financial support to the Florida Disaster Fund as we continue statewide recovery efforts following Hurricanes Helene and Milton,” said Josie Tamayo, CEO of Volunteer Florida. “Their contribution will provide critical resources to help rebuild the impacted communities.”
“We are deeply grateful to IEM for their generous $50,000 donation to the NC Disaster Relief Fund. Their commitment to helping government partners navigate the recovery process is invaluable. Together, we will not only rebuild but also create stronger, more resilient communities prepared for the challenges ahead,” commented Brittany Pruitt Fletcher, President and CEO, United Way of North Carolina.
