Asheville – When the six -month milestone of the tropical Storm Helene in Western North Carolina, ABC’s “Good Morning America” ​​will transfer live from Asheville via recreational progress and ongoing challenges.

Helene caused catastrophic damage and claimed more than 100 lives in the region and more than 200 lives in the south. When it landed, category 4 hurricane was downgraded into a tropical storm. It achieved WNC on September 27th after the precipitation of forerunners, which led to widespread floods, landslides, strong winds and decimated houses, companies and entire communities.

Simone Swink Simone Simone said that the GMA team wanted to return to the persistent region as part of its ongoing reporting to emphasize the communities of how they can help, and shows Americans who help for months after the original devastating event.

“We are a country with great resilience and we love to show that out of the air,” said Swink.

The two-hour “Asheville Rising” from GMA will be broadcast on Wlos and ABC partners from March 27th to 9th. The episode is broadcast live by Highland Brewing and popular Asheville in East Asheville.

Robin Roberts, Sam Champion and Ginger Zee become co-moderator.

The program is closed to the public due to a limited space. The guests include previously presented individuals and groups involved in the Helene reaction and approval.

The program will contain loved Asheville, Highland Brewing and a group of students Carpenters from the Mountain Heritage High School in Burnsville.

The GMA crew supports the Asheville campaign, which encourages visitors to return to the city and the Greater WNC region after a drastic decline in tourism that affects the communities economically.

“We wanted to come back and show the rest of our spectators across the country how great (WNC) and what to do,” said Swink. “One thing that we always hear from everyone with which we were in contact in Asheville and in the region is that the city is very open to the business while it is still rebuilt.”

Swink said that similar reporting about other municipalities, which confronted with a crisis, have contributed to collecting money that were normally donated by companies and sponsors so that the municipalities can be rebuilt.
