Hurricane Harvey Response: Bass Pro Shops
Hurricane Harvey is a disaster of epic proportions. It has leveled the Texas coast, causing up to $30 billion in damages. Analysts call it one of the worst disasters in American history.
As it rages on with flooding, damage, and personal loss, thousands of volunteers have swept into the city to help rescue individuals in need. The Federal Emergency Management Agency estimates more than 450,000 people will ultimately apply for federal assistance.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott calls it “one of the largest disasters America has ever faced.”
The aluminum Tracker boats provide mobility and space for relief efforts.
Bass Pro Shops encourages people who want to support relief efforts to donate directly to the American Red Cross.
