We’re heartbroken by the hurricanes and earthquakes that have devastated families around the world,” she wrote. “There are many ways to help. We’ve listed a few organizations that are on the ground from Mexico to the Caribbean, lending a hand to those who need it most.”

The world has been impacted with a slew of natural disasters lately. Hurricane Irma was the strongest hurricane observed in the Atlantic since Wilma in 2005. It was the first Category 5 hurricane to strike the Leeward Islands on record, followed by Hurricane Maria only two weeks later.

Irma hit Antigua and Barbuda , Saint Martin , Saint Barthélemy , Anguilla , Saint Lucia , Barbados , Guadeloupe , Saint Kitts and Nevis , British Virgin Islands , U.S. Virgin Islands , Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Turks and Caicos Islands , The Bahamas , Cuba and Florida.

The storm caused catastrophic damage in Barbuda, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands as a Category 5 hurricane. As of September 27, the hurricane has caused at least 124 deaths, including 44 in the Caribbean and 80 in the United States.

Hurricane Maria hit Dominica as a Category 5 hurricane, Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane, and is currently threatening North Carolina and parts of the Mid-Atlantic. Maria caused catastrophic damage during its journey across the Northeastern Caribbean.

Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico in the morning of Wednesday, September 20 as a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph. Although at 5 p.m. ET, Maria had weakened significantly to a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, it left a trail of devastation in the island, ripping roofs off buildings, filling homes with water, and knocking out power to the entire population.

Adding to the catastrophe's, on September 19, 2017 a 7.1 earthquake struck Mexico. It was epicentered approximately 34 mi south of the city of Puebla. The earthquake caused damage in the Mexican states of Puebla, Morelos and the Greater Mexico City area, resulting in the collapse of more than forty buildings. Although Mexico's SASMEX earthquake warning system provided 20 seconds of advance warning in Mexico City, 342 people were reported killed throughout the region (including 203 in Mexico City), and more than 6,000 injured.

This all came after Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas in August, and also affecting Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Suriname, Guyana, Nicaragua, Honduras, Belize and the Yucatán Peninsula.
