Emergency supplies are now being airlifted into western North Carolina to help the victims of Helene. The storm brought excessive rainfall and devasting flash flooding to the region – cutting off some communities from the outside world. If you or someone you know is in need of help, here’s how to apply. If you were impacted by Hurricane Helene, you may be eligible to receive disaster assistance from FEMA. This funding could help pay for essential items, temporary housing assistance, repairs to your home, and more. Whether you live in North Carolina or South Carolina, there are three ways to apply: you can visit www.disasterassistance.gov, call 1-800-621-3362 or use the FEMA App. 25 counties in North Carolina have received a major disaster declaration. The counties on your screen now are the eligible counties in North Carolina. The counties of Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Catawba, Clay, Cleveland, Gaston, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Lincoln, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey Counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians are included in the declaration. In South Carolina, you must live in one of these places - 13 Aiken, Anderson, Bamberg, Barnwell, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Lexington, Newberry, Oconee, Pickens, Saluda and Spartanburg counties can apply. In North Carolina, if you or someone you know needs food, water or other necessities you can call 211. This is also the same number you call to report a loved one missing.
