10,000 Body Bags Were Not Enough – Updates from on the Ground in North Carolina Disaster Relief
Hannah Stutts is the owner of JAKS Stables, in Wendell, North Carolina. When Hurricane Helene ripped through the area, Hannah joined forces with other local residents to start the Western Carolina Emergency Network, which is running a huge operation center in Western North Carolina, where Hannah has served as the dispatch of relief efforts in isolated towns that still need help. Hannah recently gave an impassioned plea from her on-the-ground perspective, where she stated that 10,000 body bags were supplied to the relief efforts in the area, but that there is now a request for even more. I have put Hannah's plea together with an earlier video she did at the operation center where she describes the kind of work they are doing. I really appreciate Hannah's communication about what is currently happening in North Carolina, without getting involved in blaming who or what caused this storm, or placing blame on other rescue efforts by getting involved in partisan politics.
