Many survivors of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina face challenges rebuilding due to a significant lack of flood insurance, leaving them financially vulnerable.
Flood insurance isn't included in homeowner's insurance, and it's generally not required, leaving many without the necessary coverage to cope with flood damages.
Those who experienced unprecedented flooding after Hurricane Helene are now facing huge financial shocks, with many expenses falling on those without flood insurance.
Less than 2.5 percent of homeowners in the heavily affected North Carolina counties have flood insurance, highlighting a critical gap in protection against natural disasters.
