Harris was briefed by FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell on the federal response to Hurricane Helene, which resulted in significant damage across multiple states. The storm claimed the lives of at least 95 individuals, left millions without power, and led to families being trapped in floodwaters.

In addition to her discussions with Criswell, Harris also engaged with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper to address ongoing rescue and recovery operations. She reached out to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to offer support and assistance in the aftermath of the hurricane.
