Severe weather events are affecting National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) members and their communities across multiple states, including North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Hurricane Helene has caused significant damage in areas where NWFA members operate. The association is currently assessing the impact on wood flooring businesses, including manufacturing facilities, retail locations, and ongoing projects.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Milton is approaching the Tampa, Florida, area this week. The NWFA urges members in potentially affected regions to take necessary precautions, prioritize safety, and implement their emergency preparedness plans.
“The strength of our industry lies in our ability to come together and support one another,” states Michael Martin, president and CEO of NWFA. “We are committed to helping our members navigate these challenging times.”
