Hurricane Helene has prompted residents and officials to reconsider evacuation protocols, acknowledging that better outreach and planning are necessary to protect lives in inland areas.
Ms. Moody felt that warnings were insufficient; people were told to stay home rather than evacuate, which may have contributed to the loss of life.
The storm demonstrated the widespread impacts of hurricanes beyond the coast, as areas like Black Mountain faced devastating effects that many hadn't anticipated.
In the aftermath of Helene, there are increasing calls for improving how emergency planning addresses inland threats from hurricanes, which historically focused on coastal regions.
