National update on hurricane relief; NATCA steers conversations at ATCA Annual Conference
Hurricane Disaster Relief Update

While members in the Southern and Southwest regions are still recovering from hurricanes in September, NATCA has assisted nearly 150 members with just over $100,000 from the NATCA Disaster Relief Fund to help them recover from damage caused by the storms. This aid to NATCA members has ranged from a few hundred dollars to as much as $1,500. The fund has helped more than 20 members who lost their homes. Approximately $30,000 has been used to buy supplies for ongoing relief efforts in the affected areas.

This aid was possible because of the great generosity of NATCA members. Thank you for giving to the fund. Money is still needed to help our members, especially those in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Furthermore, NATCA's leadership is monitoring whether the wildfires in California will have a similar effect on our membership. If you haven't donated to the NATCA Disaster Relief Fund, you can do so today.
