Recovery Resources for Hurricane Helene
We are only starting to understand the extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. Our NCAT staff in the region are all safe, but several are without power and are surrounded by towns, cities, and farms that have been devastated by the storm. Partners in the region have been sharing information with us about different groups providing recovery assistance. We know there are far more groups out there helping the Southeast recover from these storms than we can share, but here are a few groups that are helping, as well as information for farmers and ranchers on recovery assistance.
