One Year Later: North Carolina Continues Recovering From Hurricane Matthew

Nearly one year after Hurricane Matthew displaced thousands of families and damaged or destroyed thousands of homes, North Carolina continues working to help survivors and communities rebuild, with more help needed for full recovery. "Hurricane Matthew struck a serious blow to our state, but North Carolinians are resilient and we are making progress toward recovery," Governor Roy Cooper said. "As I travel our state and visit communities rebuilding from Matthew, I see work still to do but also many signs of hope." Gov. Cooper travelled to Princeville today to see recovery progress first-hand. In recent weeks, Gov. Cooper and state Emergency Management officials have also travelled to Lumberton, Fair Bluff, Kinston, Goldsboro, Windsor and Fayetteville, with future trips planned to other communities.
