Vice President Kamala Harris visited the state over the weekend, promising continued federal support for recovery efforts, such as providing survivors with $750 in immediate emergency financial assistance. The administration has also committed to covering the full cost of debris removal costs for at least the next six months.
With the devastation left by Hurricane Helene, President Biden commits to 100% federal funding for debris removal costs as North Carolina begins long recovery.
Helene wreaked havoc in North Carolina, especially in western communities that were flooded or destroyed by landslides. Dozens of people are dead, and many more are missing. Here's what's being done about it.
At least 107 people in six states were killed. A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported 30 people killed.
Here's the latest on Hurricane Helene as it leaves death and destruction across the southeastern U.S.
Days of torrential rains in North Carolina culminating with tropical downpours from what was Hurricane Helene have officials keeping a close eye on a major dam. Also, the two main interstates in the mountains are closed and flooding is everywhere.
Warmer temperatures make it more likely that North Carolina faces a dangerous hurricane this year, climate scientists say.
