15 years from yesterday, 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. ⛑️Help FRF by sharing our story, or donating, today. fuelrelieffund.org/donate #disasterrelief #volunteer #emergencyresponse #hurricane #fuelsaveslives

Fuel was essential for generators, transportation, emergency operations and the organizations working to reach communities across the island.

Being able to show up in remote areas like this, alongside people working tirelessly to support their communities, is exactly why Fuel Relief Fund exists. With roads destroyed and mountain communities cut off, motorcycles are more than transportation. They are lifelines, carrying fuel and critical supplies to families in places larger vehicles cannot reach. Fuel creates movement. Movement creates access. And access makes relief possible.

Fuel Relief Fund made a second trip into Nepal’s Rasuwa District to distribute free fuel to local motorcyclists, helping them reach communities impacted by the devastating floods.
