City staff repurposed into disaster response team after flood
Thirty five city employees filled Fire Station 1 as disaster recovery crews at the emergency operations center. The team prioritized wellness checks for 152 housing units, restored water service to Fletcher Edneyville and Saluda, and coordinated comms with public works while coping with widespread outages. City Manager John Conner lauded the pivot and noted outside help from Gaston County and Wilmington ahead of FEMA lessons.
