Hurricane Season

As hurricanes become more frequent and intense, the question is no longer if they will strike but how prepared we are to respond. With your support, Afya is ready.

Afya is actively preparing for what is projected to be an especially severe hurricane season. With above average storm activity forecasted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and critical emergency funding facing nationwide constraints, the need for community-based responsive aid has never been more urgent.

Afya brings nearly 20 years of experience responding to natural disasters with a proven model for delivering targeted, lifesaving aid when it matters most. In partnership with the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) and other trusted organizations, our Disaster Response focuses on prepositioning supplies, supporting local needs, and rapidly deploying aid in collaboration with healthcare and community partners. Every shipment is tailored to the real-time, on-the-ground needs of frontline providers. Our ability to move quickly and stay engaged for long-term recovery is key to our mission.

Active Response: 2025 Hurricane Season

Afya is actively monitoring developments throughout the Atlantic and Gulf regions and preparing emergency shipments in advance of landfall and damage assessments. Our warehouse team is staging inventory, coordinating logistics, and activating partner networks to ensure rapid response.

We are committed to addressing immediate medical and humanitarian needs while laying the groundwork for long-term health system recovery in impacted communities.

20 Years of Disaster Response experience

  • Prepositioning supplies in our Yonkers warehouse to ensure fast mobilization
  • Coordinating with local and regional partners to assess damage and prioritize distribution to the hardest hit areas
  • Collecting and distributing hurricane-specific supplies, including water purification tablets, tarps, emergency lighting, and personal hygiene items (all shipped items meet our minimum one-year shelf-life requirement)
  • Packing and dispatching tailored shipments of wound care, infection control, hygiene products, flashlights, and other essential humanitarian supplies
  • Delivering resources to health facilities, shelters, and community hubs that care for displaced individuals, seniors, families, and vulnerable populations
  • Working alongside grassroots organizations to reach communities that may be overlooked.

Every Afya shipment is tailored, timely, and backed by a team that understands the urgency of disaster response. By anticipating needs and acting quickly, we help stabilize local healthcare systems, reduce suffering, and support recovery.

Your support powers this work. Together, we can make sure no community is left behind when the next storm hits.
