One year after Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reflects on its role in one of the largest disaster recovery missions in Corps history. Partnering with FEMA, state, and local agencies, USACE provided emergency power, water, infrastructure assessments, and massive debris removal operations that helped communities begin to rebuild.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Equal Employment Opportunity program fosters a culture of dignity and respect by ensuring a workplace free from discrimination, harassment and bias. This commitment is even more important in an emergency response deployment environment, where stress and long hours can challenge workplace norms.
