NC Disaster Response & Recovery
The NC Disaster Response and Recovery web page is comprised of educational materials and environmental health resources that residents of communities impacted by Hurricane Helene and other disasters can use in their steps toward recovery. These resources provide specific details on mold cleanup, accessing clean drinking water, protection from mosquitoes and other pests, cleanup around mud, and other environmental health hazards. As part of the UNC community’s effort to provide relief and recovery to affected areas, these resources were compiled with support from the UNC Center for Environmental Health and Susceptibility (NIEHS grant #P30 ES010126), the NC Department of Health and Human Services (contract #47421), and the UNC Institute for the Environment. We also appreciate the contributions of the Community Engagement Core of the UNC Superfund Research Program.
