U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards on Tropical Storm Helene Recovery

From U.S. Congressman Chuck Edwards:

Western North Carolina has been the focus of many people over the past week. We’ve seen an outpouring of support and I know there are many more out there who are ready to assist, they just need to know how. That is why I have put together a page on my website, edwards.house.gov/helpWNC, that lists where and how you can help the people of the mountains. I highly recommend sharing the information with anyone you know looking to contribute to NC-11’s recovery.

I also want to highlight an additional way you can help Western North Carolina. If you or a loved one wants to help in ways other than donating food or money, the next best way to support our community is to support our economy and visit Western NC.

Now obviously there is currently a DO NOT DRIVE message in place for most of the mountains. Please DO NOT try to visit or travel through the areas hardest hit by the storm such as Henderson and Buncombe counties. However, I’m here to remind you that Cherokee, Graham and Swain counties are open, and they are desperately in need of visitors to support their economy. These counties have been going above and beyond for their neighbors to get supplies into the hardest hit counties, but they need your support too.

Small business owners in the far western counties rely on tourism to get by each year. With a DO NOT DRIVE message in place for most of the mountains, they have seen an influx of cancellations and are questioning whether they will be able to make it through the season. Even just an overnight or weekend visit will make a difference. If you can safely travel to the western edge of North Carolina, please do so.

As for the residents of NC-11, I’m hoping this update will be even more informative than the last. I have added information on new resource hubs to access food and water in multiple counties, open urgent cares, SNAP benefit flexibilities, legal assistance, resources for veterans, IRS guidance for taxpayers impacted by Hurricane Helene, and more. I promised that I would keep you updated, and I hope I am not inundating you with too much information, but this is just the beginning.

Today is update number six, with more information to follow in the coming days. Please make sure to read everything and share it with your friends and family.

IRS Guidance for Taxpayers Impacted by Hurricane Helene

Power and Gas

  • 217,000 customers remain without power in Western North Carolina.
    • The number of customers seeing their power turn back on each day is slowing, but that is only because Duke Energy has been conducting significant work to repair and bring back online the 360 substations that were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Helene.
      • The substations are the backbone of our energy grid.
      • Once restored, service for private homeowners and businesses will rapidly begin to come back online.
    • So far, 93 percent of substations have been restored and significant substation work is continuing today.
      • Duke Energy is beginning to move in mobile substations to areas with substations that sustained significant damage beyond immediate repair to restore power to that portion of the grid while they work on longer rebuilds.
    • Duke Energy helped to facilitate the installation of a generator with French Broad EMC on a main water pump to support providing the community with water.
    • There are 9,200 total crews from 18 states and Canada assisting power restoration efforts in Western NC.
    • Duke Energy has not changed their anticipated restoration of service date.
      • Most customers in Western North Carolina can expect the power to be back on by TOMORROW, Friday, October 4.
        • WARNING: Customers in areas that are inaccessible, dependent on infrastructure that has been destroyed or are unable to receive service may see additional delays.

    • The FRP will be back online to provide much needed assistance soon.
    • More information to follow.
  • The Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has made available:
    • Accelerated payments to Medicare Part A providers affected by Hurricane Helene

For Local Government Resource Requests

  • For county leaders: This is a reminder to make sure your Emergency Operation Center has submitted the request for gasoline, food, water, cell service deployables, etc. with North Carolina Emergency Management to have your request processed and resources delivered.
    • My office stands ready to assist with checking the status of your request if the county or municipality has not heard back from NC Emergency Management within 24 hours.

For Individual Assistance through FEMA

North Carolina received a Major Disaster Declaration for the following counties: Buncombe, Clay, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania and Yancey counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

People with damage to their homes or personal property who live in one of the above-listed counties should apply for Individual Assistance through FEMA, which may include upfront funds to help with essential items like food, water, baby formula and other emergency supplies.

  • Funds may also be available to repair storm-related damage to homes and personal property, as well as assistance to find a temporary place to stay.

Individual Assistance provides financial aid and services to eligible individuals and households that have been affected by a disaster to assist with the recovery process. Individuals can officially begin applying for Individual Assistance online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov, or by calling the application phone number at 1-800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585) between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. EST.

  • To date, more than 10,000 survivors have registered with FEMA for Individual Assistance.

To Connect with a Loved One

Residents trying to connect with family members may call NC 211 (or 1-888-892-1162 if calling from out-of-state) to report missing loved ones or request a welfare check.

Additionally, people in the impacted areas can indicate that they are safe by reporting themselves safe through Red Cross Reunification by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

  • Please only use 911 for life-threatening emergencies so the lines remain open for critical situations.
