Hurricane Ian

The importance of the Cooperative Program can be seen in action as Southern Baptists across the country prepare and mobilize to provide relief to hurricane victims on the East Coast.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey joined Florida Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers Oct. 2 and 3 at two Southern Baptist churches serving residents displaced by Hurricane Ian.

Ian made landfall Sept. 28 in the Punta Gorda/Cape Coral area as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 145 mph. A “catastrophic” storm surge, winds and flooding came with it, the National Weather Service said.
