Local governments in North Carolina located in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene can now apply for grants from the new Small Business Infrastructure Grant Program (SmBIZ), a $55 million dollar fund designed to rebuild the damaged infrastructure that small businesses rely on to operate and thrive.
The North Carolina Disaster Case Management program is available to guide survivors affected by Helene in 39 counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians through the recovery process by helping them address unmet needs and connect to resources.
The purpose of the East Coast Equine Emergency and Disaster Response group provided by Fleet of Angels (a 501(c)3 tax-exempt service organization) is to serve as base camp via social media where equine owners and caregivers can connect with equine transporters, foster facilities, searchers and rescuers, horse-savvy handlers, hay and supply bank hosts, and other volunteer service providers in situations where equines are at risk due to natural disasters in this area. Equine evacuation, post-disaster search and rescue, recovery, fostering, emergency care, and equine facility repair and relief may all be addressed here.
Elk River Helping Hands is unique in that it provides expedited emergency relief directly to individuals in the High-Country who have incurred a devastating event, including but not limited to residents of Avery and Watauga Counties in North Carolina and Carter County in Tennessee.
