SUMMARY: In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s devastation across the Gulf Coast and beyond, many Americans are left without basic necessities. The Red Cross has mobilized 1,400 disaster workers across 10 states, establishing 70 shelters for about 2,000 people and prioritizing food, water, and health services, especially in North Carolina. President Biden announced potential federal disaster assistance and emphasized ongoing support for affected survivors. Nexstar encourages donations to support Red Cross initiatives in response to Helene and future disasters. The exact federal funding needed remains uncertain as recovery efforts continue.
