How to stay safe during Florence + help our coastal neighbors | Now that Florence has passed, the wind has subside, and the flooding isn’t quite as intense – see how you can help the community + the state recover.

Now that we’ve seen the very worst of Florence, it’s time to start preparing ourselves for the recovery process. Keep in mind, some areas of our community and state are still experiencing power outages + major flooding.

Buncombe County will continue being in a state of emergency until this Thursday – so take caution when traveling. Protip: Be sure to check for any cancellations in plans this week from the events included in our September PlanAhead.

Stay dry and safe, Asheville.
