UNBELIEVABLE: 41 TRILLION gallons of water in 24 hours devastated Western North Carolina during Hurricane Helene.

The numbers are staggering:
• 100,000 homes damaged or destroyed
• 39 counties impacted (45% of NC's GDP)
• 6,000 miles of roads affected
• 2,700+ volunteers mobilized
• 4-5 million pounds of supplies distributed

When traditional systems fell short, the Special Operations community stepped up. 75-90 operators volunteered their expertise, implementing a "centralized command, decentralized control" model that outperformed conventional protocols.

Proud to share this powerful story of community resilience and grassroots action in the face of unprecedented challenges. Sometimes the most effective solutions come from unexpected places.
