U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Installs Generators for Shelter in NC | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Temporary Emergency Power Team install generators at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly campus in Black Mountain, North Carolina, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Oct. 11, 2024. The campus will be used as a temporary shelter for up to 500 survivors recovering from the hurricane and flood waters.

Additionally, 65 USACE personnel are supporting response efforts via reach-back and has 218 contractor personnel deployed.
The Temporary Emergency Power Planning and Response Team in North Carolina consists of employees from the Pittsburgh and Honolulu districts as well as Soldiers from the 249th Prime Power Engineer Battalion, and contractors. So far, the team has installed more than 20 generators and completed more than 40 assessments to determine further emergency power needs.
The Wilmington District oversees the disaster response and relief effort on behalf of USACE in North Carolina. The district provides support to western North Carolina through execution of FEMA mission assignments.
