NORTH CAROLINA RELIEF HURRICANE RECOVERY UPDATE (May 2019)
CURRENT ACTIVITIES (RECOVERY PHASE) ●

●
We continue to provide recovery assistance to homeowners in Pamlico and Craven Counties; filling the immediate and unmet needs of homeowners still struggling to recover. Working closely with the Pamlico Long Term Recovery Group and case management, the team continues to find homeowners who have received little to no support. Nearly 8 months after Hurricane Florence hit, response work (mucking, gutting, and sanitizing homes) continues. Scope of work expanded in January to include critical repairs. Our critical repair queue prioritizes the most vulnerable populations (elderly, disabled, veterans, children, low income, etc.) currently living in their homes. While not completing a total rebuild, our team works to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable place to live. It’s starting to warm up out here in NC, but work is not slowing down! This last month, the team completed critical repairs on three different homes. From left to right: Daisy Miller’s entire family joins us to celebrate not only the completion of her house, but also Daisy’s 90th birthday! Daisy’s late husband built the home in the 50s, where now generations of Millers have been raised. Site supervisor Heather smile’s with Daisy’s daughter Bertha.
