Harris has been briefed on federal storm responses and has communicated with governors of affected states, including North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit regions devastated by Hurricane Helene as soon as emergency response efforts stabilize, according to a White House official on Sunday.

She also engaged in discussions with Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina and reached out to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to understand their immediate needs.
