RALEIGH — North Carolina’s new Regional Resilience Portfolio Program has launched a partnership designed to advance resilience in eastern regions of the state impacted by Hurricane Florence.

The program will be coordinated regionally with the support of councils of governments and the N.C. Rural Center. The initiative aims to build the foundation for a more resilient North Carolina by proactively engaging with community leaders to determine and plan for climate hazards.

RISE is funded by a $1.1 million U.S. Economic Development Administration grant, with support from NCORR and N.C. Rural Center.

This is Like tipping a dime. This is already underfunded right out of the gate. $1.1 mil Will not cover the need for stationary with logo, and hats with emblem.
