The USDA reminds communities, farmers, ranchers, families, and small businesses in the path of Hurricane Helene that the agency has programs to provide help in the wake of natural disasters. Rainfall with the storm could trigger severe flooding in many areas. USDA partnered with FEMA and other disaster-focused organizations and created the Disaster Resource Center. This information source includes a searchable database of disaster-related resources powered by agents with subject matter expertise. USDA also developed a disaster assistance recovery tool specifically targeted to rural and agricultural issues. The tool walks producers through five questions that generate personalized results identifying which USDA disaster assistance programs can help them recover from a natural disaster like Hurricane Helene. USDA also encourages residents and small businesses in impact zones to contact a local USDA office to determine which assistance programs might fit their individual needs.
