One year after Hurricane Helene devastated Upstate and Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Southern and Western Georgia, Creating Hope 2025 – “Helene +1” serves as a critical convening of emergency professionals, academics, and student practitioners. This two-day event will examine the cascading effects of the storm, illuminate post-crisis recovery efforts, and prepare attendees to lead in future disasters through actionable learning and cross-sector collaboration.
