How the North Carolina Destruction Brought Out the Best in Private Charity

We’re joined today for an on-the-ground status report by Dr. Mollie James, a critical care physician who is working on medical triage in the mountains. With her is Dan Nunez, a military veteran and local resident who is coordinating the search and rescue efforts from the Avery County airport. He paints a vivid picture of the dire human needs in the remote mountains but also the superb unity among the veteran organizations that are pooling together their talents to navigate this living hell. They make it clear that they have barely seen a federal presence in the remote areas and that frankly they feel the private organizations will do a better job. You can donate to the cause at HopeMill.org or join Mollie’s medical team by emailing [email protected].
