ATLANTA, GA — It’s National Hurricane Preparedness Week and the Home Depot Foundation has committed more than $5.5M to help non-profits prepare, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
That’s on top of the $3M it pledged for wildfire response earlier this year in southern California.
More than 27 natural disasters hit the US last year causing at least a billion dollars in losses.
Forecasters predict an “above average” Atlantic hurricane season with at least four major hurricanes.
