Less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene made landfall, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) is mobilizing for another major hurricane – and reminding supply chain professionals to take the 13th named storm of the season as seriously as they took the first.

“In an ideal world we’d have plenty of time to focus all of our efforts on Hurricane Helene clean-up and recovery, especially because the needs are so extensive,” says Kathy Fulton, ALAN’s executive director. “But in the real world, hurricanes don’t always wait for their turn. As a result, we are officially activating for Hurricane Milton. All signs point to Hurricane Milton being an extremely destructive and dangerous event for the west coast of Florida, including many parts that are still struggling with rescue and recovery efforts from Hurricanes Helene and Debby. As a result, ALAN is consolidating its resources for preparedness and response efforts – and calling upon its network to help.”

Key Takeaways:

  • ALAN expanded its Disaster Micro-Site with a Situation Report that includes specifics about Milton’s projected path and impacts as well as links to transportation waivers and state business/industry resources. It will continue to provide these reports as circumstances change in the days ahead.
  • ALAN urges businesses who have operations located in Hurricane Milton’s cone of concern to focus on keeping themselves and their employees safe, including allowing plenty of time for their area employees to make preparations and either evacuate or shelter in place.
