Convoy of Hope teams are in North Carolina and Florida, where Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm. Disaster response teams have already staged numerous distributions for survivors, providing them with food, water, hygiene kits, cleaning supplies and tarps. Additional truckloads of supplies are being sent from Convoy's World Distribution Center to North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina to serve storm survivors in those states.

At least 160 people in the Southeast have lost their lives in the storm. One county in North Carolina alone has reported 30 deaths. More than 2 million people in the region are currently without power. Tens of thousands of people are also without clean drinking water, internet access or cell phone service.
