Congresswoman Valerie Foushee has expressed deep appreciation for the ongoing emergency response and recovery efforts aiding communities in Western North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. In a recent statement, she conveyed her gratitude for the dedicated work of first responders and volunteers assisting those impacted by the storm.
“My team and I are closely monitoring the situation and are here to help support North Carolinians impacted by Hurricane Helene,” said Congresswoman Foushee. She emphasized her commitment to providing necessary resources and support to the affected communities.
Hurricane Helene, which struck in late September, caused significant damage in Western North Carolina, leading to widespread flooding and infrastructure challenges. The storm resulted in substantial loss of life and property, with the state estimating damages at over $53 billion.
In response to the disaster, federal assistance has been mobilized. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved Major Disaster Declarations for North Carolina, providing financial aid to individuals and households affected by the hurricane.
Congresswoman Foushee’s office has been actively involved in coordinating relief efforts, ensuring that resources are effectively distributed to those in need. She has been in regular communication with state and local officials to address the evolving needs of the affected communities.
As recovery efforts continue, Congresswoman Foushee encourages residents to stay informed through official channels and to reach out for assistance as needed. Her office remains committed to supporting the resilience and rebuilding of Western North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
