As the full impact of Hurricane Helene's deadly destruction becomes clearer, the Katten community extends our heartfelt sympathies and support to all who have been impacted, particularly those who have lost loved ones or have friends and family unaccounted for days after the storm.

In response, the firm has partnered with the American Red Cross to support the areas most impacted. We continue to identify other ways to assist in the immediate recovery efforts.

There are no estimates of how long it will take to recover from Helene's devastating aftermath and ongoing weather threats in the impacted areas. The firm stands ready to serve the needs of our clients with resources in the Southeast and across our footprint. Our utmost concern is for the safety of our people and the communities where we live and work.
