In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been actively involved in debris removal operations across Western North Carolina. A notable example is the work conducted in Old Fort, North Carolina, where crews have been transporting debris from affected areas to the Debris Management Site in McDowell County. This video shows how this critical operation helps manage the millions of cubic yards of debris cleared from waterways, right of ways and personal property. (USACE video by Michael Davis)
