Alaskan among those working to help in wake of Hurricane Helene
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) – Recent counts put the death toll from Hurricane Helene and its aftermath at more than 220 people, according to authorities, while hundreds more remain unaccounted for after the storm made landfall on Sept. 26.
A week later, many residents and communities remain isolated, stuck without food, water, power, or communication abilities.
In response, people from across the country – including Alaskans – have deployed to assist those in need in the Southeast region of the Lower 48. Watch the video above to hear from one group that’s working to help in North Carolina.
