“Hurricane Helene has caused unprecedented devastation across Western North Carolina and we are leading an unprecedented response to surge food, water and needed supplies into these communities,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “This will be a long and difficult recovery and we must use every state, local and federal resource at our disposal to save lives, restore communications, and begin critical repairs to roads and infrastructure.”
There are many agencies collecting funds and supplies or who have posted other ways to help meet the basic human needs of those impacted. Here are some links to resources and information:
