This includes Hurricane Helene, drought, Tropical Storm Debby, and Potential Cyclone 8. The General Assembly appropriated nearly $311 million for the program that will be administered by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. $200 million will be for verifiable losses from Hurricane Helene in the affected area and about $111 million will be for verifiable losses from all other agricultural disasters in 2024.
