Miramar, home to a large Jamaican diaspora, is actively organizing relief efforts alongside various nonprofits and businesses. Disney has pledged $1 million, while major figures like Arthur Blank have also contributed significantly to the cause. Multiple flights are being organized to transport both evacuees and supplies to the affected areas, with organizations like BermudAir and Tampa non-profits leading the charge. Concerts, fundraisers, and community events, including initiatives from local restaurants and grocery stores, aim to raise additional funds for those in need.
