Norwegian Cruise Line makes a massive post-hurricane gesture

Hurricane Milton hit Florida demanding, and recovery will ultimately cost billions of bucks. Rebuilding, on the choice hand, is a difficulty for a later day.

People need immediate humanitarian help, and the American Red Cross has been a key service provider with boots on the bottom in heavily impacted areas.

Inside the wake of the destruction resulting from both Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) will make contributions $Eighty,000 to the American Red Cross to help those in affected communities. As well to the $30,000 it previously donated to the Red Cross to strengthen Hurricane Helene relief efforts, it is going to compare up to $50,000 more in public donations toward Hurricane Milton relief efforts.

These contributions aim to produce immediate relief to the communities impacted by the storms.

“For decades, Florida has been home to NCLH, and we feel deeply connected to this community,” said Norwegian CEO Harry Sommer. “Seeing the devastation in our own backyard and neighboring states has been heartbreaking. ‘Strengthening Our Communities’ is a key pillar of our global Sail & Sustain program, and we're committed to helping those in need. Our donation to the American Red Cross is drawn to providing direct relief, helping families rebuild their lives and regain a way of stability and hope as they get better.”

Helping the Red Cross help people

A fully non-political agency, the Red Cross goes to disaster web sites and helps other individuals who are in desperate need.

The Red Cross, working with partners, has been a significant in supporting communities tormented by Hurricanes Milton and Helene. For Helene, disaster workers arrange shelters, distributed food, and provided a significant relief supplies. In preparation for Milton, 83,000 people sought refuge in Red Cross shelters where they found a secure place to ride out the storm.

“With Hurricane Milton following closely in Hurricane Helene’s wake, the American Red Cross is on the bottom helping families get better from these vicious storms,” said Red Cross Chief Development Officer Anne McKeough. “We’re thankful to Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings for standing with us to produce help and hope as communities start off to navigate the long road to recovery.”
