It’s been over a week since Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and days since Hurricane Irma hit Florida, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. And IAVA is doing all we can to help. As an IAVA member, we want to help you stay informed, empowered and, if you’re impacted, get support you need. We are here to share critical information with you, as well as support, advocate, and send in reinforcements.
