Just want to add to this. Regular hurricane places have been affected, but places that were completely inexperienced have suffered through this as well.
The link is to a website that lists places to shelter if needed, though it seems to be a small list. It also has a list of what would be appropriate to donate to charities, as well as a list of places in Appalachia that are accepting donations.
HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF
Since I'm incredibly anxious and very much annoyed, I'm compiling this post as a sort of master list of relief organizations and individual fundraisers for those in the path of Hurricane Helene.
Many of the links I post on this won't be individuals, but I encourage those within the path to add their links to this post in reblogs! Likewise, if you have any organizations / volunteer / grassroots efforts y'all would like to share, please do so!
My list is particularly focused on widely accessible resources, as well as Florida specific resources since... I'm from Florida.
(INTER)NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
American Red Cross - The American Red Cross is on the ground helping people as Hurricane Helene approaches land as a very dangerous storm. Helene may produce winds over 150 mph, a massive 20-foot-high storm surge and as much as a foot of rain. Prolonged power outages and tornadoes may occur. The effects will be felt hundreds of miles inland including in Georgia and the Carolinas.
FEMA Disaster Assistance Improvement Program - The Disaster Assistance Improvement Program’s (DAIP) mission is to provide disaster survivors with information, support, services, and a means to access and apply for disaster assistance through joint data-sharing efforts between federal, tribal, state, local, and private sector partners.
Roll Mobility - An application that equips wheelchair users with reliable information about the accessibility of restaurants, public spaces, businesses, trails, and parking areas. Good information to have on hand, especially for those evacuating from their home areas.
Warmline Directory - Providing extensive yet accessible resources that empower individuals to find the mental health and wellness resources they need through a directory containing accurate and in-depth information. For those unfamiliar: Unlike a crisis line, a warm line operator is unlikely to call the police or have someone locked up if they talk about suicidal or self-harming thoughts or behaviors. A good resource for individuals in mental distress due to natural disaster circumstances.
Food Not Bombs - Recovers food that would have been discarded and share it as a way of protesting war and poverty. They also reduce food waste and meet the direct need of communities by collecting discarded food, preparing vegan meals that they share with the hungry while providing literature about the need to change our society. Food Not Bombs also provides food to protesters and striking workers and organizes food relief after natural and political crisis.
FLORIDA
Volunteer Florida Disaster Fund - The Florida Disaster Fund is the State of Florida’s official private fund established to assist Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster. In partnership with the public sector, private sector and other non-governmental organizations, the Florida Disaster Fund supports response and recovery activities.

Alternate US: Potential Succession of West Virginia Poll
So, below is a map of some of the current countries in this project, but I'm considering a potential succession of West Virginia and some of it´s surrounding areas (mainly western Pennsylvania and part of Ohio from the Republic of Ohio, and a portion of Virginia and Kentucky from Appalachia).
If Ohio were to be thrown into the succession, Illinois might join into a country with northern Missouri and Iowa. Not so sure about Indiana at the moment.
PLS ONLY ANSWER THIS POLL if you've lived in areas from the Republic of Ohio or Appalachia (outlined and labeled below), OR have referenced someone else who has, OR have lived anywhere in Pennsylvania, OR have studied/learned enough about the area that you feel at least semi-confident in making a decision, thank ye kindly!
