Recovery in North Carolina from Florence

IncSmart North Carolina (Small Business and Startups) - Recovery will be a long recovery period in North Carolina from Hurricane Florence. It is estimated thirteen billion dollars in property damage.  Flood damage to homes and business will be extensive and will make a huge financial impact in the state.  Few North Carolinians have flood insurance, and hundreds of thousands of homes are still without power.  There will be a massive rebuilding not only of housing but of infrastructures and roads.  Millions of livestock animals have died and the Price Gauging Law will be in effect for 45 days.
