Alone & Under Water: Learning from Hurricane Helene

Season 2 Episode 226

When Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina in September 2024, it came as a shock. But it’s the mutual aid networks that responded with creative, effective strategies to distribute water, medicine and help communities rebuild. Laura Flanders heads to some of the hardest-hit areas in western North Carolina and speaks with community activists to hear the lessons to be learned for the future.
