Resources
Appalachia Relief is committed to the communities needing information about resources
Low-fi and downloadable; for those experiencing lack of access to communication where service and power are relied heavily on for communication, especially in tech, therefore our commitment is to make sure if you are without service and power, a victim of disaster can still obtain vital information about resources, crowd sourced and vetted. For volunteer opportunities both remote and on the ground please find the links on the website.
Click above link for R4D2 is a free disaster relief logistics application that facilitates the transportation of aid, food and supplies between distribution sites. Our platform operates by identifying your supply and excess inventory demands, and then utilizing volunteer drivers and dispatchers to efficiently move aid to where it is most needed. Developed in the wake of Hurricane Helene in WNC, we have now expanded our services into KY, WV, VA, TN, and CA following the recent natural disasters.

Road Information District 12 (last update 2/19/25): Overnight snowfall, coupled with ongoing precipitation today, has impacted travel across our seven counties. Teams have been operating around the clock, focusing primarily on Priority A routes to ensure the most heavily trafficked roads remain passable. As of nightfall, A and B routes were reported partially clear but many C routes remain covered with snow. Motorists should anticipate slippery conditions during the morning commute. We strongly encourage drivers to limit travel when possible, especially in flooded areas.
