President Joe Biden has approved a major disaster declaration for 41 Georgia counties as the state deals with the damage from Hurricane Helene.

North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said Helene has caused unprecedented devastation across the western portion of the state. He emphasized the scale of the recovery ahead, stating: "This will be a long and difficult recovery."

Homeowners are often vulnerable to exploitation after a big storm, whether from insurance companies trying to minimize payouts or unscrupulous contractors inflating repair costs.

Cities like Augusta and Valdosta are trying to recover after Hurricane Helene hammered southern Georgia.

Former President Donald Trump visited South Georgia on Monday to witness firsthand the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene.

All postal retail and delivery operations for dozens of USPS facilities across Georgia have been temporarily suspended until further notice due to Hurricane Helene's impact.
