ICNA Relief with local and National partners are assessing the damages caused by Hurricane Helene and communicating with local authorities to determine the damages sustained by the storm before sending our staff & volunteers to support the cleanup and recovery efforts.
Emergency crews rushed Friday to rescue people trapped in flooded homes after Helene roared ashore as a powerful Category 4 hurricane in Florida, generating a massive storm surge and knocking out power to 4 million customers in several states. At least six people were reported dead.
The storm made landfall late Thursday in a sparsely populated region with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) in the rural Big Bend area, home to fishing villages and vacation hideaways where Florida\u2019s Panhandle and peninsula meet. But the damage extended hundreds of miles to the north, with flooding as far away as North Carolina. One Georgia county was almost entirely without power.<\/p>\n
