Catholic Charities USA gearing up Hurricane Dolly response

Alexandria, VA—To deal with the aftermath of Hurricane Dolly, which is has already started to make landfall along the Texas Gulf Coast, Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) is gearing up its response efforts, collaborating with the local Catholic Charities agency and the Diocese of Brownsville to preposition supplies and prepare to open shelters if needed.

‘Catholic Charities USA is working with Catholic Social Services to ensure our network’s response will be aiding the most vulnerable populations, including a large migrant population, in the impacted areas,’ said Kim Burgo, senior director of disaster response for Catholic Charities USA.

A disaster response team of expert staff from CCUSA, Catholic Charities of Baton Rouge, LA, and Catholic Charities of Southeast Texas is being deployed to the region to help the local agency assess post-storm damages, human needs, and recovery efforts.
