HURRICANE helene & milton response

Mercury One has helped transport roughly 302,090 pounds of supplies directly to North Carolina -including oxygen bottles, insulin, heaters, generators, food, water, warm clothing, diapers, fridges, worker boots, and more. This was made possible by Rep. Cory Mills, Moms for America, America’s Wall of Honor, Operator Solutions, My Patriot Supply, Freedom Square, CFORCE Water, and The Jack Brewer Foundation.
We are partnering with Excel College in North Carolina to get supplies directly to unreached communities in the mountains. We were able to get 75 generator kits delivered directly into family homes or apartments.
We funded a truck that is delivering clean purified water to families in Black Mountain, NC. We helped create watering stations at local high schools, near the community swimming pool and in neighborhoods, along with serving water to the Black Mountain Home for Children campus. We were able to get clean water to 100 foster children at the Black Mountain Home for Children campus.
We worked alongside Adam Smith, an ex-Green Beret, Operator Solutions, and U.S. Representative Cory Mills out of a Harley-Davidson dealership in North Carolina. Out of this dealership, we have helped coordinate helicopters, rescues, supply drops and are getting generators and medicine to communities in the mountains.

We have been serving warm meals to victims of Helene and Milton in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. Alongside Operation BBQ Relief, who provided 1,394,700 meals in 34 days.

We are partnering with The Jack Brewer Foundation who has been going door to door to help veterans and the elderly impacted by Milton – they are removing trees from homes, getting people food and supplies, and helping small business owners get back on their feet. We helped deliver 10,000 pounds of meat, 12 pallets of water, a pallet of hygiene products and 1,000 pairs of socks.
We helped get over 50 Starlinks out in the Tampa area alongside Rep. Cory Mills directly after Hurricane Milton hit.

Glenn Beck and JP Decker, executive director of Mercury One, were on the ground in Asheville, NC on Thursday, Oct. 3, delivering vital supplies to families who have been without food, water, or medical attention since the storm started. They arrived with a plane full of 1,400 pounds of supplies.
We assisted My Patriot Supply to get a semi-truck of their emergency food kits and supplies to North Carolina.

We helped rescue individuals that are trapped in North Carolina. We helped to medevac an 83-year-old man by helicopter who was showing dangerous signs of hypertension. We medevaced a grandmother in North Carolina directly to a hospital so she could receive lifesaving care. She was suffering from a massive infection and her blood pressure was extremely high. She could not get to a hospital any other way.
We are partnering with churches and Somebody Cares in NC to serve warm meals and give gift cards to families for fuel.
Since the very beginning of this crisis, we have helped put up communication hot spots, charging stations, and cell phone towers across North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina, and the Appalachian region with the Information Technology Disaster Resource Center.
