U.S. Army soldiers with Task Force Castle assist locals clear debris from Hurricane Helene in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, on Oct. 15, 2024.
The task force is one part of a larger federal response to assist residents to recover from Hurricane Helene.
USACE has received 35 (34 open / 1 closed) FEMA Mission Assignments (MA), including National Activation, Regional Activations, Temporary Emergency Power, Infrastructure Assessment, and Debris Management/Oversight totaling $343.39M. Additionally, USACE has issued $3.725M in Flood Control and Coastal Emergency Funding (FCCE) for the provision of flood response technical expertise, and management of flood response supplies and equipment.
USACE brings unique capabilities to emergency responses, but is just one piece of a much larger Army and DOD team working to support federal, state, and local partners.
