A GLIMPSE INTO MEDIC CORPS'

Relief Responses

CALIFORNIA

So Cal Wild Fires

The devastating wildfires that swept through Southern California in January 2025 left a trail of destruction.

Fatalities: At least 30 people were killed.

Evacuations: Over 200,000 people were forced to evacuate at the peak of the fires.

Structures Lost: More than 18,000 homes and structures were destroyed or damaged.

As the fires destroyed critical infrastructure, response teams moved into remote areas with no service and a dangerous communication gap emerged.

MEDIC Corps provided and managed Starlink for command centers, Public Information Officers (PIO) vehicles, fire rigs, and media interview trailers.

This vital connectivity empowered PIOs and fire officials to more efficiently communicate with the public, disseminating real-time, life-saving information about the direction of the fires and crucial evacuation notices. By ensuring a reliable flow of information, MEDIC Corps helped keep communities safer and the overall emergency response more effective.

NORTH CAROLINA

Hurricane Helene

In the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastation in Western North Carolina in September 2024, MEDIC Corps provided critical aid and continues to support long-term recovery. The historic storm caused over 107 fatalities, displaced tens of thousands, and resulted in more than $59.6 billion in damages, destroying infrastructure and homes with unprecedented rainfall and flooding.

In partnership with the Love and Life Foundation, MEDIC Corps' immediate response included:

Restoring Communications: Deployed Starlink satellite internet to all area fire departments, re-establishing vital communication for emergency services.

Evacuating Residents: Assisted in evacuating people from flooded and high-risk areas.

Delivering Supplies: Provided a steady stream of essential supplies like food, water, and medical provisions to impacted communities.

Ensuring Clean Water: Implemented water filtration systems to guarantee access to safe drinking water.

MEDIC Corps remains dedicated to the region's recovery by actively supporting the reconstruction of homes and helping communities rebuild.
