Being a hero doesn’t mean wearing a cape and swooping in to stop supervillains. A hero is someone that shows up for those in need. There are so many heroes during hurricane season, and many ways to be a hero in your local community.

Here are some hurricane heroes, along with what you can do to help your community after a storm.

Spotlighting Heroes

The Cajun Navy: After hurricanes like Harvey, Laura, and Ida, heroes from The Cajun Navy (a volunteer group of boat owners) helped to rescue local residents who were stranded due to the flooding.

Healthcare workers during Hurricane Katrina: Hurricane Katrina was devastating, and helping those who were injured was a monumental task. Healthcare workers put their lives on the line to help people when they needed it most.

Aerial Recovery Group: After the devastation of Hurricane Ian, the Nashville-based Aerial Recovery Group saved many people trapped in their homes, including an elderly couple. The group helps people all over the world.

How to be a Hero in Your Community

In order to be a hero, you don’t have to run into a burning building or swim into a flooded pond to save a dog. There are small things that you can do to help those in your community who have suffered due to a hurricane.

Here are some things you can do to help your local community after a storm:

  • Donate to relief charities (clothing, daily necessities, food, fresh water, money, etc.)
  • Volunteer to help feed those in need
  • Volunteer to help rebuild homes, stores, and other buildings damaged by the storm
  • Give blood
  • Shop local
