- Spatial Disparities in Disaster Recovery: Assessing Flood Risk, Resilience, and Federal Aid Distribution in Western North Carolina After Tropical Storm Helene
- Date
- Developed from January 2025 to April 2025
- Description
- This is a poster created for my research on Hurricane Helene. It discusses FEMA's response in terms of assistance and those who applied for FEMA's Individual and Household Program. The focus in on rural communities and vulnerabilities that made the storm even harder for those individuals. This work will help to understand what to do if a natural disaster like this takes place again in Western North Carolina and how we can help those isolated communities and individuals who have more vulnerabilities.
