Duke Energy headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, is an electric power holding company in the United States. They have also helped the people affected by Hurricane Florence.

“I think it is relevant for these organizations to help people because a lot of people need help from all over,” said Mr. Aaron Akeley, math teacher.

Duke Energy has deployed over 1,000 employees and contract workers from Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana to help restore power following Hurricane Florence.

“Some important supplies would be some cloths and freshwater,” said Mr. Andrew Ovington, history teacher.

People are trying to do their best to help the people affected by Hurricane Florence, but the best way to help is with a simple donation that could help someone who needs all the help they can get.
