In September 2024, Tropical Storm Helene devastated Western North Carolina, causing unprecedented flooding and infrastructure damage across Asheville and Buncombe County. In the wake of this disaster, something remarkable emerged: neighbors helped neighbors, community spaces transformed into distribution centers, and trusted local organizations rapidly mobilized to provide critical services. The resilience hub mapping project sought to document and learn from the community hub network of facilities, programs and services that was activated in response to Helene.
The final report identifies key findings and recommendations to help the City and the community build a more resilient future.
