In the days and months to come, there will be many posts surrounding the devastation following Hurricane Helene and it will become readily apparent that people want to help - need to help. Please Please be careful. Disaster fraud is real and there are bad actors out there who will take advantage of this. Before you donate, please do your research. The American Red Cross is always your safest bet, HOWEVER, there are plenty of other folks out there on the ground that need your help to get aid to the ones that need it - just make sure they are legit. According to the FTC, you can check on give.org, charitynavigator.org, charitywatch.org or guidestar.org.

The first time I moved to Florida in 2004, there were 3 #hurricanes that I experienced that year. I remember asking "is this normal?" Luckily it was not normal. But living back in Florida has me thinking about hurricanes again. Fortunately, SBP thinks about natural disasters all the time! Although they can't prevent them, they can help disaster survivors recover faster. They are a #nonprofit that was created after Hurricane Katrina, and have been working on ways to prepare communities inside and outside of New Orleans for disasters, and support them in the aftermath with home rebuilding. They have continuously improved their processes with the support of Toyota Motor Corporation and their #TSSC consultants. We recognized them for their efforts with the 2024 Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers "Excellence in Sustainable Development" award. A donation to SBP ensures that in the wake of the next disaster, impacted families can receive immediate assistance.

As you may have learned, the southern region of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, has been experiencing catastrophic flooding. To the best of our knowledge, FICO colleagues and their families in Brazil are doing fine, but this disaster has already claimed dozens of lives and inflicted unprecedented devastation on more than 360 communities. The extent of the devastation is staggering and heartbreaking. To support the people of Brazil suffering from this tragedy, FICO is making a corporate cash contribution to the State Government of Rio Grande do Sul targeting relief efforts, announced today by our CEO Will Lansing. In addition, our team members in Latin America have launched a highly engaged FICO Cares donation drive, subject to corporate match, involving both cash and supply donations. Those interested in supporting the relief efforts can also directly contribute: https://lnkd.in/dC_jAB3k

First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by Hurricane Helen.
