Biden Deploys 1,000 Troops to Aid North Carolina's Hurricane Helene Recovery as Death Toll Rises
Oct 2, 2024, 04:22 PM
President Joe Biden has directed the deployment of up to 1,000 active-duty troops to North Carolina to assist with recovery efforts following the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. This decision comes as the Department of Defense mobilizes personnel and resources to support ongoing disaster relief, rescue, and recovery operations. The troops will reinforce the North Carolina National Guard and aid in the delivery of supplies, food, and water to isolated communities. The hurricane has resulted in significant damage across the Southeast, with the death toll rising to over 175 people in six states. Biden is also scheduled to visit one of the hardest-hit states to survey the damage firsthand. Hurricane Helene has been described as a storm of historic proportion.
