I had a friend who was from Asheville, and he wanted to start a supply drive to help his community. With his personal social media, he did not have enough reach to make the impact that he was striving for. He used our Fraternity Instagram and Facebook platform, and the donations started flowing in. He was able to receive two uhauls full of supplies and he was able to help make a difference for his community. One of the unique challenges when responding to the disaster of Helene was the remoteness of the Appalachian community. The North Carolina mountains before the hurricane were already difficult to reach, as there are few highways that run through the mountain ranges. Hurricane Helene wiped out many of these roads, including interstate 40, which just reopened this past month. With there being limited ways to reach these individuals in need, getting them supplies and help was more challenging than usual, and the use of aircrafts became crucial. This led to many people not receiving help for weeks and local aid was completely overwhelmed, and this started a cry out for federal government aid through FEMA. The requests for help climbed into the thousands quickly and it became extremely difficult for everyone to receive federal aid. People began to hear the horror stories from the mountains and started to direct their anger towards the federal government, claiming they were not doing nearly enough to help the individuals of the North Carolina mountains. This outrage turned political, and the Helene recovery became a talking point in the election of the 47th president.
