Ensuring rural recovery after Hurricane Helene
The Rural Recovery Center is assisting with Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, focusing on rural communities such as Canton and Old Fort. It collaborates with FEMA to maximize funds and accelerate the recovery of the $60 billion in damages and 108 lives lost. The priority is the reconstruction of infrastructure, housing, and economic support, with a process expected to take several years.
