Baltimore gears up to send 911 operators to help North Carolina recover from Helene

As western North Carolina navigates the destruction in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Baltimore is readying a team of 911 operators and emergency dispatchers to potentially assist the state. “As a city who has seen our fair share of significant emerging situations and challenges, I know how meaningful support from other jurisdictions can be,” Mayor Brandon Scott said at a news conference Wednesday following the city’s Board of Estimates’ meeting.
