Who We Are

Crisis Relief and Recovery is a national disaster relief and response organization based in State College, Pennsylvania. We exist to serve and strengthen communities in crisis by training and deploying leaders who provide relief, empower recovery, and ensure that no one faces the storm alone.

The Situation

July 4th Weekend Flooding

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, intense rainfall caused flash flooding across TYRONE, in BLAIR COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. The National Weather Service issued a Flash Flood Warning for Tyrone, and local reporting indicated that roughly three inches of rain fell during the afternoon storm. Several small streams overflowed their banks, causing damage to homes and property. It is estimated that dozens of homes received water damage and the mayor has issued an emergency declaration.

As Tyrone is home to many of our directors and volunteers, CRR has launched Operation HOMEFRONT to help homeowners in Tyrone recover from the flooding. Our team is working to identify affected households, assess damage and unmet needs, coordinate volunteers and resources, and support local recovery efforts as residents begin the difficult work of cleaning out, stabilizing, and restoring their homes.
