YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe went to North Carolina to get residents’ side of the story after Hurricane Helene.
People told us that the systems designed to help people rebuild and recover are failing.
It’s a much bigger problem than we imagined — and it’s only going to get worse. One solution? Making fossil fuel companies cover some of these costs. NY Governor Kathy Hochul has until the end of the year to make it happen.
To donate to the people we met:
Down Home North Carolina
Ellen and Farrell’s GoFundMe to rebuild Scorch
Other organizations doing recovery work:
