#WaterFactWednesday 💧 Did you know that more than 1 TRILLION gallons of water are wasted each year in the U.S. due to household leaks? That’s enough to supply 11 million homes for a year! 🚰💦 Common culprits include worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and leaky valves. Do you have a leak? Take a moment to check your home and save water! 💙 🌎 #FindTheLeak #SaveWater #WaterConservation #NCRWA

Ongoing Response FEMA has approved $84 million in housing and other types of individual assistance for more than 66,000 households. Additionally, the Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) program supports more than 1,800 families. Through TSA, survivors who cannot return home may be eligible to receive help from FEMA to find a safe and clean place to stay while they make their long-term housing plans. Fifteen shelters are housing just over 500 occupants. Mass feeding sites deliver meals to approximately 20 mobile sites across 12 counties. FEMA has provided the state with more than 7.8 million meals and 10 million liters of water. Search and rescue operations are ongoing in western North Carolina.
