Tropical Storm Helene

In 2024, western North Carolina saw record flooding that caused devastation; the likes of which our state had never experienced before. One year since neighbors, friends, family, responders, volunteers, and people that had never met before, became family in the largest whole-of-community response in North Carolina history. As we continue to reflect on Helene's devastation, please visit our Helene Retrospective Dashboard.
