Riverbird Research, in collaboration with local and state agencies, has initiated the WNC Helene Impacts Business Response Survey. This effort aims to evaluate the damage caused by Hurricane Helene and identify the needs of businesses in Western North Carolina.

The survey seeks input from a wide range of businesses, including small shops and large corporations, as well as those that have temporarily or permanently closed due to the hurricane. The intention is to gather comprehensive data on the impact across the region.

Feedback collected through this survey will play a crucial role in guiding relief and recovery initiatives at various governmental levels. "Your feedback will directly inform relief and recovery efforts at all levels of government, ensuring that the support provided is targeted and effective," states Riverbird Research. Participation in this survey allows businesses to contribute directly to the rebuilding process in Western North Carolina.

Businesses are encouraged to participate by visiting www.ashevillechamber.org/helenesurvey. The survey results will help shape future recovery strategies for the area.

Riverbird Research emphasizes the importance of sharing this opportunity with other businesses within the community: "Help shape the recovery of Western North Carolina. Please share this important opportunity with other businesses in our community!"
