Hurricanes Idalia (2023), Debby (2024), and Helene (2024) left a wake of destruction in the town of Steinhatchee, located in the Big Bend area of North Florida. The tragic devastation of this community of 500 has taken a huge toll. The storm surge with Helene reached 20 feet with winds up to 140 mph. Debby’s storm surge was 3-5 feet, while Idalia’s storm surge was 12 feet in Steinhatchee.
Project Overview
In this rural, coastal community, two organizations are currently working to restore and reconstruct homes and businesses. These groups will leave Taylor County, FL, in the last week of March 2025.
