Hurricane Helene (Southeast Coast, USA; 2024) made landfall in Florida as a Category-4 hurricane, later impacting Western North Carolina with severe flooding, landslides, and hurricane-force winds. Communications and transportation were interrupted for months, leading to disinformation, recovery disruptions, and a loss of trust. To assess household impacts and recovery from Hurricane Helene in two rural Western North Carolina counties, a 29-question survey was adapted from a Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) conducted in Buncombe County, a nearby urban county. Thirty clusters were selected with probability proportionate to population across the two counties. Survey teams completed 183 interviews (completion rate = 87.1%). More than 35% of households evacuated because of Hurricane Helene, with nearly 18% evacuating in the week after due to on-going communication and utility outages. Less than 10% of households experienced new or worsening environmental health or chronic diseases. However, 40% reported anxiety, 30% reported trouble sleeping and depression, and 60% reported worrying about another disaster affecting their home. Nearly one year after the direct impact of the hurricane, much work remained as part of continued long-term recovery and resilience building. Because of their small populations and limited infrastructure, restoration of services necessary for response and recovery can be hindered in rural areas which often lack options such as public transportation, affordable short-term housing, and broadband or Wi-Fi.</p>","PeriodicalId":20400,"journal":{"name":"Prehospital and Disaster Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"e3"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147594248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
