Situation needs a lot more than prayers, from what I've seen. The federal response has been a shambles, it has been down to the good folk to help each other out.
Wishing all the best.

Prayers sent now.
I was in Charlottesville yesterday morning and donated supplies to outbound trucks heading your way.
Local support is strong but I pray that the Government does their job and gets it together.

Man, I am in Fairview and I feel for your area. I did two supply runs from Charlotte to the church behind the Fairview library. We stopped by the Fire Department to see if they needed anything but they are stocked up. The locals are busy trying to help any way they can. Now I’m wondering what else to do. Let me know please.
Boosting for my good friend Dan Bright who is volunteering in Asheville right now trying to increase water distribution:

Plenty International Calls for Assistance Delivering Essential Grey Water to Underserved Communities in Asheville, North Carolina Following Hurricane Helene
October 5, 2024 (Asheville, North Carolina) – In the wake of the devastating Hurricane Helene, Plenty International, a grassroots 501c3 disaster assistance organization, has stepped up to provide critical support to underserved communities in Asheville, North Carolina by delivering grey water for non-potable uses. Plenty International is calling on any resources that can assist in supplementing this water effort.
The organization is in need of help supporting the water delivery and crisis recovery effort as the situation in Asheville is very unstable and quickly getting worse as nearly 94,000 residents try to survive without a functional water system. This is a public health crisis that has the potential to become very damaging and widespread.
Dan Bright, a coordinator on the ground with Plenty International, says the area desperately needs much larger-scale resources to facilitate an effective response to this public health crisis such as water bladders to deploy in centralized locations, tanker trucks to distribute the water and additional labor.
“The current nonfunctional status of the water system for the entire city of Asheville and the amount of time that the system may be inoperable is a very serious concern for public health that is already unfolding but has the potential to get much, much worse if we do not employ much larger measures than we are able to currently inplement,” says Bright. “There is a great ongoing effort from a grassroots collective and grows every day. It has been, and remains, amazing, to help orchestrate. It is truly inspiring. But the issue remains that we are trying to replace millions of gallons a day of needed water with buckets, 275 gallon water totes, trucks, and physical labor.”
Hurricane Helene has left many communities without access to clean water, exacerbating the challenges faced by already vulnerable populations. Recognizing the urgent need, Plenty International has mobilized its resources to deliver grey water, which can be used for essential activities such as sanitation, irrigation, and other non-drinking purposes.
The grey water being distributed is sourced from various bodies of fresh water in the local area that are above the flood zone, utilizing gravity feed systems and large gasoline powered water pumps. This initiative is part of Plenty International broader commitment to disaster relief and community support, particularly for vulnerable, underserved, and population dense populations and areas.
If an organization, company or individual can help with the needed larger-scale resources, they should contact Bright at 931-374-5717.
