Hurricane Michael

The SNA Disaster Relief Information Page and Forum have been opened to the public for viewing as Hurricane Michael delivers CAT 4 force to the Florida Panhandle and CAT 1 force to South and Center Georgia. During critical times such as this we open this forum so the public can see the information. However, you must log in to post any information... not our choice but just the way our system works.

If you have a need or if you have equipment, water, food, supplies or labor that you can donate please post on this forum. Also, if you have details of any areas impacted by the hurricane or specific requests that you are aware of, please post here.
