NCAP - Come Helene or High Water: A Webinar on Disaster Resilience
On September 27, 2024, Western North Carolina was completely decimated by Tropical Storm Helene. Entire communities were destroyed by mudslides and flooding. Areas were left completely cutoff by roads and bridges washing away. Residents were left without power and internet for weeks. Water service did not return for months.
In this webinar, join James Duncan, Weatherization Services Program Manager, to hear how Community Action Opportunities became part of the Asheville Regional Coalition for Home Repair (ARCHR) to respond to this unprecedented disaster. Learn how partnering organizations came together to pool resources and coordinate efforts to help low income families recover. Hear tips, suggestions, and advice for navigating through something that you hopefully will never have to experience.
