Hurricane Michael is shaping up to be one of the pivotal natural disasters of 2018. Right on the heels of Hurricane Florence, the southeastern United States is once again in the crosshairs of a major hurricane and weather event.

Contingency plans have been set in motion, with the Defense Department mobilizing and Department of Veterans Affairs taking action. Below are updates as of Wednesday, October 10th, and a list of resources for those affected by this event.
