Want To Help AT Communities Recover From Hurricane Helene? Here’s How
Hurricane Helene brought high winds and devastating flooding to much of the southeastern US last week, and Appalachian Trail towns like Hot Springs, North Carolina, Erwin, Tennessee, and Damascus, Virginia were among those hardest hit by the storm.
Members of the communities that have supported AT thru-hikers for so many years now find themselves cut off by damaged roads and without power, reliable water, and critical supplies. Many have seen their homes and businesses damaged or destroyed. The overall death toll from Helene is now above 100.
