Dorian, a class-five – the most severe storm classification – hurricane, devastated areas of the Bahamas earlier this week, before making landfall over the US in North Carolina on Thursday, where it had dropped in severity, but still caused widespread storm-surge flooding.
Immediate Aid
Binance co-founder and chief executive Changpeng Zhao said on the Twitter post that Hurricane Dorian has already damaged over 13,000 homes leaving more than 400,000 people in need of “immediate aid and supplies”. He added:

On September 2 PO8, a Bahamian marine archaeology company that uses blockchain for investment transactions, established a similar charity called The Bahamas Blockchain Hurricane Dorian Relief Fund (BBHDRF).
