14 Years Ago Today, Hurricane Sandy Devastated the Northeast

On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck the New Jersey coastline, bringing catastrophic flooding, destructive winds and widespread power outages throughout the Northeast.

The storm destroyed homes, damaged critical infrastructure and left millions without electricity. As communities struggled to recover, gasoline and diesel became essential for generators, transportation and emergency operations.

Fuel Relief Fund mobilized immediately, deploying a fuel tanker from California to provide free emergency fuel assistance throughout New York and New Jersey.

On November 3, our volunteers began distributing gasoline and diesel near a fire station in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Over the following days, FRF expanded operations to Staten Island, Long Branch, Union Beach, Sea Bright, Toms River, Rockaway Beach and Far Rockaway.

During the first three days alone, FRF provided free gasoline and diesel to more than 1,700 individuals**, helping families operate generators, maintain transportation and meet essential needs during widespread fuel shortages.

Our volunteers also supported emergency response operations associated with the American Red Cross, FEMA, the National Guard and local first responders.

For families without electricity, fuel meant heat, power and the ability to obtain necessities. For emergency responders, it meant keeping vehicles and critical relief operations running.

Fourteen years later, we remember the lives lost, the families displaced and the communities forever changed by Hurricane Sandy.

We recognize the dedication of our volunteers, donors, fuel industry supporters and emergency response partners who made this deployment possible.

Since Hurricane Sandy, Fuel Relief Fund has continued responding to disasters worldwide, providing free fuel to communities when they need it most.

Our mission remains unchanged: reducing human suffering through critical emergency fuel assistance.

When the power goes out, fuel becomes a lifeline.

15 years ago today, a devastating earthquake struck Van, Turkey.

On October 23, 2011, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck eastern Turkey, killing 604 people, injuring thousands and leaving approximately 60,000 people homeless.

As freezing temperatures arrived, families were forced to survive in tents and temporary shelters, many without reliable heating or electricity.

Fuel Relief Fund deployed to Van, Turkey, distributing more than 28,000 kilograms of coal to help earthquake survivors stay warm.

Our volunteers worked directly in affected neighborhoods, providing heating fuel to families, elderly residents and vulnerable individuals struggling through the bitter cold. Working alongside local partners, our team helped bring warmth to households facing an uncertain winter.

For many families, access to heating fuel meant being able to remain warm in their homes or shelters while focusing on recovery and rebuilding.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the families displaced and the communities forever changed by the Van earthquake. We also recognize the volunteers, local partners and donors who made this humanitarian response possible.

Eight years ago today, Hurricane Michael devastated Florida’s Gulf Coast.

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, as a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 160 mph. It was the strongest hurricane on record to strike the Florida Panhandle.

The storm destroyed homes, businesses and critical infrastructure, leaving communities facing widespread power outages, damaged roads and major disruptions to essential services.

Fuel Relief Fund deployed in response to Hurricane Michael, distributing more than 8,500 gallons of free emergency fuel to support disaster relief and recovery efforts in Florida.

Our mission was to help address critical fuel shortages affecting disaster survivors and emergency response operations when communities needed assistance most.

Fuel access was especially important for powering generators, supporting emergency transportation and helping families maintain basic necessities while electricity and other services were disrupted.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the families whose homes and communities were devastated, and the first responders, volunteers and humanitarian organizations who worked tirelessly to help the Florida Panhandle recover.

Eight years later, Fuel Relief Fund remains committed to the same mission: reducing human suffering by providing critical fuel assistance when disaster strikes.

When the power goes out, fuel becomes a lifeline.

Ten years ago today, Hurricane Matthew devastated Haiti.

On October 4, 2016, Hurricane Matthew made landfall near Les Anglais on Haiti’s southwestern peninsula as a powerful Category 4 hurricane with winds of approximately 145 mph. The storm destroyed homes, roads and critical infrastructure, isolated communities and created an enormous humanitarian emergency.

During the deployment, Fuel Relief Fund distributed more than 12,500 gallons of fuel, with the response designed to provide critical support benefiting approximately 50,000 people.

Today, we remember the hundreds of lives lost, the families and communities forever changed by Hurricane Matthew, and the Haitian residents, first responders and humanitarian organizations who worked through extraordinarily difficult conditions to help their communities recover.

When disaster shuts down critical infrastructure, fuel becomes a lifeline.
