North Carolina Bitcoiners set up Hurricane search and rescue operation

The Bitcoiners will focus on the “overlooked” communities in western North Carolina that have received little to no state or federal support and remain cut off from life-saving supplies.

North Carolina’s local Bitcoin community is prepping a convoy of emergency room physicians, volunteers, and retired military personnel to provide critical assistance in the state’s mountain region following Hurricane Helene.

The operation will start on Oct. 4 from the Greensboro region, and the 12-man team will be equipped with six full-sized trucks, multiple utility task vehicles, four trailers, one horse and one mule, according to North Carolina Blockchain Association’s Head of Industry Affairs Dan Spuller in an Oct. 2 post on X.

Chainsaws and medical supplies will also be used to assist with clearing paths and searching for missing individuals.
