Imagine a storm so fierce it leaves entire communities reeling. In September 2024, Hurricane Helene did just that. It tore through the southeastern United States, leaving a path of destruction in North and South Carolina. Towns like Asheville, Marion, and Black Mountain faced torrential rains, powerful winds, and devastating floods. The aftermath brought unimaginable challenges. But amidst the chaos, Moffitt Site Services stepped up to provide essential support for hurricane recovery.
A Storm’s Impact
Hurricane Helene’s fury left communities without power, clean water, or basic sanitation. Beloved landmarks, like Asheville’s Grand Bohemian Hotel, suffered significant damage. This iconic hotel, known for its unique architecture and cultural ties, became a symbol of hope for the community. Its hurricane recovery was crucial for Asheville.

Moffitt Site Services knew they had to act fast. They quickly deployed a team of over 50 disaster response experts. These dedicated individuals brought critical resources: potable water, porta potties, and roll-off containers. These services helped ensure sanitation and cleanup happened quickly. And because of their efforts, emergency shelters, healthcare facilities, and local businesses could resume operations.
Rusty Moffitt, Moffitt Team Member, shared a touching story. He received a call from a customer who said, “Everywhere I look in North Carolina, I see Moffitt equipment.” This showed how dedicated Moffitt’s team was to helping with hurricane recovery. They were truly reliable partners during this difficult time.

Beyond Helene
Just as communities began to heal from Hurricane Helene, another storm brewed on the horizon. Hurricane Milton gathered strength and slammed into Florida’s coast. Cities like Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg faced its wrath. The storm brought severe winds and flooding, causing widespread damage and disrupting essential services. But even in the face of this new challenge, Moffitt Site Services remained steadfast in their commitment to hurricane recovery.
