Several thousands are still missing or unaccounted for in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Some 2 million people are without power. Debris-blocked roads and downed communication lines have hampered search and rescue efforts.
Several hundred people have died nationwide; scores of those dead were in the west of North Carolina, where hundreds of roads remain closed, hampering recovery operations, as well as the delivery of much-needed food and water.
AMURT & AMURTEL has relief teams in NW North Carolina. They are engaged with sludge removal, serving hot meals, and providing food and non-food items to those in need.
The affected communities will need support for a long time. Please donate to keep this effort going.
