I'm a community mental health nurse in Asheville. I work for ACTT. I haven't had power or running water since last Friday like everyone else.

I have been working out in the community since Monday. I can tell you that supplies have been coming in enmass.

People have been getting food and drinking water without issue. Every patient I have seen this week has been taken care of.

There is a response here. The issue is communication services; wireless phone services. There are connections sporadically. People are having trouble knowing where to get supplies.

We are a strong community who are coming together. No one is without basic needs.
