Roads have been blocked, several communities have been cut off, the affected areas, especially North Carolina are suffering from power outages.
Rescue operations are conducted by various organizations like FEMA and many other local institutions like Hylo Fitness, Ethos and so on.
Cory Mills, the Republican Congressman of Florida has especially put efforts for relief works.
He collaborates with Mercury One association to provide relief in hurricane-stricken areas.
His team has delivered pounds of necessities to the zones of crises, and have organized hoist operations.
White House reported that around 600 people were unaccounted for, as of Monday.
The storm’s extreme precipitation and strong winds were exacerbated by human-driven climate change, leading to significant impacts in Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Long term recovery still poses a challenge, it may take months and billions of dollars to rebuild the infrastructure.
The response to Helene Hurricane relief showed a convergence of political, private and community sectors’ combined effort, and how it can quicken the processes of recovery.
