Disasters come in many forms—raging wildfires, devastating hurricanes, catastrophic floods—and each one presents unique challenges for relief efforts. At Fuel Relief Fund (FRF), we’ve learned that while the disasters may differ, one need is constant: fuel.
Since 2005, FRF has deployed to disasters across the globe, from the California wildfires to hurricanes along the coasts. No matter the type of crisis, our mission remains the same: provide free fuel to those who need it most, when they need it most.
Wildfires: Speed and Access are Critical
When wildfires strike, every minute matters. With roads blocked and communities cut off, access to fuel can mean the difference between safety and disaster. Fuel Relief Fund delivers fuel directly to first responders and the communities in need—keeping first responders in the fight and helping families evacuate to safety. Learn more about our LA Wildfires deployment and the fuel we provided here: https://fuelrelieffund.org/deployments/los-angeles-wildfires.
Hurricanes: Powering Recovery from the Eye of the Storm
Hurricanes devastate communities—flooding roads, damaging infrastructure, and knocking out power for days. Fuel Relief Fund responds immediately, delivering fuel to first responders, generators, and emergency shelters. By partnering with local NGOs and aid organizations, we keep critical relief efforts moving when communities need it most. See the impact we made during Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton in 2024 here: https://fuelrelieffund.org/deployment-tracker/#gallery.
Floods and Other Emergencies: Flexibility Is Key
Floods, tornadoes, and other disasters demand quick, adaptable responses. Fuel Relief Fund teams travel on foot or partner with other nonprofits using trucks, helicopters, and even ATVs to reach remote communities. By staying flexible and ready for anything, we ensure no one is left without access to fuel. See how we delivered fuel on foot during the 2021 Kentucky Tornadoes at the Gallery: https://fuelrelieffund.org/deployments/kentucky-tornado/.
The Constant in Every Crisis: Fuel
Whether it’s wildfire smoke, hurricane winds, or rising floodwaters, one thing is always true: fuel is essential. It powers the vehicles, generators, and equipment that make disaster relief possible. FRF’s focus on fuel allows all other aid—food, water, medicine—to reach the people who need it.
