The County Compass

Helene Cleanup: One Year Later

In this week’s episode of the County Compass, we look back at the one-year mark since Columbia County completed it’s response and recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. From county staff working around the clock to residents stepping up to help their neighbors, the cleanup effort showed what’s possible when everyone shares a common goal. We also highlight the recognition Columbia County has received for these efforts, the lessons we’ve shared with other counties and ways residents can stay informed during severe weather emergencies with our HyperReach emergency notification system. Join us today as we take a look back at resilience, teamwork, and the importance of staying prepared.
