Hurricane Helene Emergency Response
During Hurricane Helene, SMAT led a large-scale emergency response, deploying over 120 personnel to support critical medical operations across North Carolina.
Our primary mission was to establish and operate a State Medical Support Shelter (SMSS) in Shelby, NC.
All patients received appropriate medical care and were transitioned to safe, suitable living arrangements until permanent placements became available.
