Dear NCASLA Members,

We are devasted by the hurricane that has affected so many in western North Carolina and the surrounding areas.

Our management staff is currently reaching out to members one by one in the Mountain section to ensure they are safe.

The Red Cross is providing shelters in locations impacted by Hurricane Helene. If you are in need of shelter, please visit this map on the Red Cross website to find the location closest to you. No identification is required.

A Crisis Cleanup hotline has been set up to call for assistance with free debris cleanup from Hurricane Helene. The number is (844) 965-1386. The hotline will be open through October 11th.

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety has set up a website with information on local county pages and resources. For more information, click here.

We ask members to please not travel to western North Carolina at this time. There are many ways to help.

The state of North Carolina has created the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. “Donations made to the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund will go to nonprofits working to meet the immediate needs of storm victims such as food and water, cleaning supplies, and other emergency supplies. All of the donations made will go to disaster relief.”

To learn more information and donate, please click here.

ReadyNC also has a list of resources for those impacted, as well as places to donate. Learn more here.

Check your local news organizations for any local donation drives near your area.

Thank you,

NCASLA
