Redirecting Our Focus
In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, our task force is swiftly transitioning its operations to support the affected regions, while maintaining our critical anti-trafficking efforts in North Carolina. We are reallocating our experienced team members, including search and rescue specialists, medical professionals, and logistics experts, to address the immediate needs of hurricane survivors. Simultaneously, we're intensifying our anti-trafficking operations, recognizing that natural disasters often create environments where children are at increased risk of exploitation by bad actors. Our personnel are being briefed on both the specific challenges posed by Hurricane Helene and the heightened vigilance required to protect vulnerable populations in its aftermath. This strategic shift allows us to leverage our existing expertise in disaster response and child protection while adapting to the unique circumstances of this hurricane's impact.
