 RESOLUTION

Honoring the victims of Hurricane Helene and expressing condolences and 
 support for the affected communities in western North Carolina, 
specifically North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, 1 year after 
 the hurricane made landfall in the State on September 27, 2024.

Whereas Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic destruction, loss of life, and 
 widespread suffering across western North Carolina;
Whereas families have been displaced from their homes, communities have been 
 devastated, and essential infrastructure, including roads and bridges, 
 schools, and hospitals, has been severely damaged;
Whereas first responders, emergency management personnel, community 
 organizations, faith-based groups, and neighbors have demonstrated 
 extraordinary courage and compassion in the face of these unprecedented 
 challenges;
Whereas the resilience of affected residents continues to inspire the country, 
 even as they endure hardship, grieve lost loved ones, and work toward 
 recovery; and
Whereas it is the duty of the House of Representatives to support and stand in 
 solidarity with citizens suffering from natural disasters and to 
 recognize their losses and their resilience: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) honors the memory of those who lost their lives as a 
 result of Hurricane Helene;

    (2) extends its deepest condolences to the families of the 
 victims and to all individuals and communities who continue to 
 suffer in the storm's aftermath;

    (3) recognizes and expresses gratitude for the heroic 
 efforts of first responders, volunteers, and local leaders who 
 have risked their lives to save others and begin the process of 
 recovery;

    (4) affirms its commitment to supporting the people and 
 communities impacted by Hurricane Helene through disaster 
 relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts; and

    (5) encourages the appropriate executive branch agencies to 
 continue to partner with Congress to accelerate recovery of the 
 communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
