As Tropical Storm/Hurricane Francine approaches the Gulf Coast, the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN) urges residents to follow safety advisories and prepares for potential post-storm assistance needs. With forecasts indicating landfall as a Category 2 hurricane and anticipated disruptions from heavy rainfall, ALAN is mobilizing resources and monitoring supply chain impacts. They have updated their Disaster Micro-Site for logistics assistance requests and encourage businesses to allow employees time to prepare or evacuate. ALAN hopes for minimal storm effects while prioritizing safety.
