Abstract:

Just hours after receiving the call for help, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission deployed 128 wildlife officers and 60 boats to help with rescue efforts during Hurricane Flood's flooding. The officers logged 7,877 man-hours and rescued over 1,000 flood victims. Officers also patrolled areas to prevent looting. In Greenville their help was critical in helping keep power on in the city.
