The Hurricane Helene death toll surpassed 200 on Thursday, making it the deadliest storm to hit the mainland of the U.S. since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Search and rescue teams are attempting to reach secluded areas hit the hardest by the storm.

In parts of North Carolina, the storm has flooded roads and shut off electricity, water and cell phone service.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency and partner organizations are responding to the devastation from Helene by delivering critical supplies to those devastated by the storm in states including North Carolina, Florida and Georgia.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned on Wednesday that FEMA won't have enough funding to last through the hurricane season.
