It’s hard to believe, but we’re fast-approaching the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene and the devastation it wreaked in western North Carolina, and it seems appropriate to check in on the state of the recovery. Last week, we learned from a legislative oversight hearing on hurricane response and recovery that the process has been moving forward, albeit slower than most would like.


Today we’ll hear excerpts from that hearing in which state lawmakers got an update from the officials in charge and offered their own assessment of the rebuilding effort thus far.
