Rescue efforts are underway across western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene brought unprecedented flooding and landslides to the region over the weekend.
Deanne Criswell, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator, described the catastrophic flooding as “historic” during an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
“I don’t know that anybody could be fully prepared for the amount of flooding and landslides that they are experiencing right now,” Criswell said. “But we have had teams in there for several days where we’re sending more search and rescue teams in there.”
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said during a press conference on Sunday that the death toll of 11 was expected to rise as search teams reached areas left isolated from the storm.
“This is an unprecedented tragedy that requires an unprecedented response,” Cooper said, adding “we know there will be more” deaths.
