Following the impact sustained from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the city formed the Oldsmar Support Services Alliance to coordinate the recovery efforts of various community organizations. The alliance started as an informal sharing of resources but evolved into a structured partnership, bringing together organizations and community leaders to support residents in the most efficient and effective way possible.
