Taylor County Recovery Efforts Two Years Post-Hurricane Helene
What happened
Two years after Hurricane Helene made landfall, recovery efforts in Taylor County are ongoing. The county's emergency management director noted that while there has been community resilience, the area has not returned to its pre-storm condition. Of the approximately 85% of homes lost, only 10 to 20% have been rebuilt.
