Forecasters at Colorado State University have announced a below-average 2018 Atlantic hurricane season. According to CSU research scientists, the probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the United States coastline and in the Caribbean is below normal.
However, as is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded they should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.
As America prepares for the 2018 hurricane season, Operation Homefront has also announced that they are ensuring that military families in Florida and Puerto Rico impacted by natural disasters in 2017 are not forgotten.
Military families are encouraged to apply for assistance with temporary residence payments, mortgage/rent payments, utilities, auto payments/repairs, auto insurance, and food assistance through the organization’s Critical Financial Assistance program.
Critical Financial Assistance is also available to support families of sick, ill or injured military veterans who left military service with an honorable discharge within seven years (or after September 11, 2001, for home repair assistance); as well as those actively drilling National Guard and Reserve personnel.
For more information, visit OperationHomefront.org. Military families may call 877-264-3968 to receive assistance from an English- or Spanish-speaking caseworker who can help them complete their application.
