You need to listen to other news outlets. FEMA has been here since Day 2 and has already spent over $50B in rebuilding the infrasture roads and water plants.
@@sharontabor7718 witch news outlet? I watch the news all the time and this is like the 2nd one I've seen to actually report on this. If it wasn't for fb asking me for money and relatives telling me about it I wouldn't know anything about it at all.
My church in Indiana is donating to campers. My husband left at 4am today on his way to deliver one of them. I am sure he will have stories to tell after this trip!
Many thanks your husband is my kind of Christian model, as well as you are as a fundemental matrimony. Hope this sad situation will soon get better. Best wishes from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
If you had a Trump sign, you have a legal right to sue.. Contact a lawyer, I'm sure they are lining up and foaming at the mouth at a chance to take on these cases.
Yeah, it turns out the reason they didn't help most of us is that we are not registered democrats. I live in a condo community in Fletcher. Was denied the $750. Neighbors in exact same situation who got the $750: registered democrats. Riddle me that. They didn't think Trump would win so they didn't think they'd be held accountable. This is so much bigger than people realize. The crime that that woman committed is called deprivation of rights under the color of law. It was repeated everywhere and it was FEMA policy. This is huge.
I hate to hear just how FEMA is not going their jobs !, good thing Trump,is going to:get rid of all fems employee and replace them, with really Americans+who want to help each other. The Americans way!, I send money to the help, but live in crooked dems run state of California and hsving problems like every Americans+does, at this time ! Money in running out on my credit cards , so I can’t do anything most but , Ptah for you and ask god to help keep you safe and warm has Christmas injustice around the corner !, god bless you!,
prayers for you and your family we just did miss Helena twice, It just did miss us, we got it when Micheal hit but not as bad as you guys by the looks of. lived in a small rural county lot of people are still living with tarps on roof, in RVs and campers,
I too live in WNC..I was one of the lucky ones and still have my home..but so many of my family and friends have lost so so much!. I truly only know of 3 families that qualified for the 750…1 qualified for 300..and dozens weee denied just like you! Prayers for you and your family..stay strong ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
@Hoe-Lee-Chit Being narrow minded doesn't solve the problem. People coming here are required to be self sufficient or have a sponsor, obtain employment, and cannot receive publicly funded assistance for 10 years. It doesn't matter which corrupt agency funds the fraudulent asylum seekers, it's still illegal to fund them. Educate yourself.
@Hoe-Lee-Chit The government stated 2 years ago that fema funds was going to be used for illegals. You got info at your fingertips. Ignorance is a choice, and shows how lazy you are to look something up and just state nonsense.
In all of this loss and destruction it's been so beautiful to see people driving from all across this country to help and bring supplies. Thank you from Appalachia!
Yes Amen ❤Your help comes from the Lord , the maker of Heaven and Earth Amen . Thank you Jesus for your servants of compassion . Blessings ❤for all your children ❤❤❤
They're being threatened by cps, too. They were told that if they don't have somewhere to live, and not in a tent, their children will be taken. It makes me sick! I pray those people fight the government and not let their kids be taken/stolen from them.
Wrong. Congress needs to be overhauled. They are the people to determine budgets. FEMA has spent $216M in infrastruture needs: roads and waterplant repair. They can't just snap their fingers and make everything right again that was destroyed physically and fiscally. Housing costs are the result of Trumps 2% loans during 2020 COVID that cause property values to spike. Put the blame where it belongs and listend to a different news outlet. You just might learn the truth.
A FEMA official was on WLOS Channel 13, Asheville, tonight and proudly announced that "FEMA had delivered 4 ""house trailers"" to North Carolina and had 3 more on the way" . WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!!
I think the government could have called all the RV companies and said "send reps here and see what is needed then provide them at MSRP & we pick up the tab" and the problem would have been solved soon as there were clear roads to do so. Also; why no massive blitz with heavy equipment to clear housing lots, fix septic, and dig wells? Government can send all that $ to Ukrainian dictator Zalinski and other countries to fund their wars and disasters but feds say "screw it, all these Americans don't need our charity"😢
While immigrants get housing that they just take from people or convert hotels in to homes for them. That's Biden and Kamala's America. Thank GOD she's not going to be president.
Republican congressional members have been blocking that funding. The money IS there, but the Republicans in congress are blocking it. It ain't got nothin' to do with Ukraine or immigration or anything else. Stupid political games.
What happened to the donations made at Concert for Carolina in Charlotte? $24.5 million. If it gets into the hands of greedy red cross, they can " distribute " it anywhere they want.( It was supposed to go straight to Helene victims). That's another"charity" that needs investigated throughly. IMO.
Donate Samaritan's Purse!! They are local they also were affected and the donations will help the hurricane victims not illegals or foreigners. Help needy US citizens and families first!
Why are trailers sitting in Michigan when these people in North Carolina are so desperately in need. As the disturbing story of FEMA, directing their workers to pass by some people due to their political affiliation is unimaginable and cruel.
It seems like the elected officials could get it together. Their governor is a Democrat. Surely, he has a relationship with President Biden who can wave the red tape. Also, the Senate Leadership elections seem to be more important than passing disaster relief legislation. 😡
Covering this? You mean spreading lies and false information. FEMA has DRC's and MDRC's throughout NC, FL, TN and NM. But instead of providing information on where to find them (such as the DRC - Disaster Relief Center in case you couldn't figure that out - at 3 S. Tunnel Rd in Asheville) they play this BS.
Tennessee needs help just like this . Greenville TN 79 yr old lady living in back uhaul trailer taken to hospital for insulin no being cold, home destroyed in helene. Erwin TN needs help too.

Its about time the big media covered this story. Thank you and please question why more billions of dollars are even now going to Ukraine rather than NC.
They haven't come close to admitting how many THOUSANDS ☠ from it. Locals that are well respected are saying anywhere between 10 to 30k gone. Multiple local sources. Ask yourself why. .
You want to be outraged? Sky News (Aussie news station) covered what they spend money on. 1 million to put a billboard in Times Square for Sgt Pepper's Lonely whatever band. A bunch to Russia (this is Biden not Trump sending money) to fund cat brain research. A bunch of money to send idiots to Paris to study butterflies. You can't make this crap up!
I spent most of my adult life in that area. It is one of the most beautiful areas of the United States. The government's response to this crisis is a goddamn national disgrace! We are sending billions to Ukraine and other countries, and our government is leaving our own citizens in 3rd world conditions. And this area is about to entire winter. This is totally unacceptable!
Stop relying on FEMA and the government to help. Take your community and homes back. Don't let them make you think that you're helpless. There is strength in numbers.
@sonneversets3530 what's FEMA and the government gonna do about that? What have they done so far about it? Nothing but condemn properties so they can't rebuild. Educate yourself and be a part of the solution instead of the problem.

Failure of Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican Congress to pass funding to help hurricane victims FEMA trailers for victims to live in should have been in place by now. FEMA needs money to purchase trailers from manufactures to give to people for shelter. When a Government agency has no funding who do you blame, the agency? No. You blame the Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and the majority Republicans who haven't yet passed a funding bill !
Maybe the SBA wouldn't be out of money if they didn't ignore whistleblower reports about PPP loan/loan forgiveness fraud, and het back the funds that should not have been forgiven....
FEMA just put 350 semis completely filled with supplies at an abandoned airport in northern Michigan where there has been no disaster and where the population only numbers in the hundreds. One could be curious as to why all these supplies were not sent to NC and TN. 350 filled trucks.
@@JULIEBROTHERS-qr5or if he cared about USA, the national guards, and some troops, would be there, plus helicopter 🚁 bringing food, he puts Illegal immigrants first, making sure they get a plane to sanctuary cities as soon as they come in, with our national guards helping give them food,and money to leave on. The worse president, besides Obama. Both dirt bags.
All part of ‘the plan’. With over 330,000 migrants kids ‘missing’. On top of the 549,519+ ‘unaccompanied’ ... that we know of! The gravy train lines are all part of a much bigger, _gross_ Pic. 🤮 Thankfully, God hasn’t missed a thing.🔥
This is so sad! Our government can house illegal aliens in nice hotels but they can’t get the people that are US citizens the temporary housing they so desperately need right now! What is our country coming to? This breaks my heart, please help these people !!!!!
people I know here have been offered hotels where they are available, most local ones are closed or full. Local folks dont want to take the available rooms an hour away
Adams finally just stopped the $1,400 pp/mo the last 3+ yrs in NYC after he saw the new law of the land win.👍 We’ve wasted Billion$ on ppl undeserving. And sooo much more ppl are not aware of. :/ And will pay a HUGE price for it. Hope you *know Jesus.* ♥✝

There is no reason I can think of that the Biltmore Mansion needs to step in and provide and protect the people that live right next to them. I visited this summer it can accommodate a mass amount of people and needs to be done stop waiting for the feds they are ridiculous, Biltmore can bill them later for housing.
Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc Instead of pursuing delusions of grandeur, the US should seek mutually beneficial cooperation with the rest the world.
They took all suppliers and money with all those semis.To Michigan to that Air Force base, that's abandoned.What are they doing?What are they preparing for.

Yes, it's a small blue metro area totally surrounded by a broad and strong rural red region. And over in Tenn, MAGAs are actually saying the exact opposite, that blue NC is getting FEMA help while deep red Tennesee is not. Gov. red tape makes it a long difficult process regardless. In past floods here, the nonprofit Appalachia Service Project based in Johnson City, Tn., has won enough community donations to match large government grants that allowed them to replace more lost homes ... with small frame houses built by trained staff and volunteers ... than any other entity in this area. Even at that, it was about a year after the flood before their little houses went up at Dry Creek near Jonesborough and Cash Hollow near Johnson City. They were prettier and much more durable than the FEMA trailers that went in along with them at about the same time.
@TheLastLineLive so is boone and chimney rock. Those are the 3 areas getting the most help. It's us volunteers helping the other 50 small towns/communities. I am not speaking from speculation, I live in northern burke co, right in the middle of all the destruction
Thank you so very much for showing the FEMA community that they have. Here FEMA is inside guarded gates, have nice warm trailers and beds, a bathroom in each trailer, while the American Tax Payers, who lost everything they had, are sleeping in tents, in the cold, no water, no bathrooms. Please Please Please keep reporting on this awful situation of "The People " in NC, Tenn, SC, Virginia. It makes me sick to see how they are being treated by the government of America
the Big Question is , Where the F did the Tax Payers money that was in the FEMA fund GO?, that is there to help American Citizens in times like this. Who took the Money, where did it go? everyone who had anything to do with the removing of this money & tranfer to a Different Fund , Should all get Arrest & sent to Prison!
GA -No help either. Customer reps hanging up, holding on the line as #298 one time and was given #187 the other day with a 9 minute wait time and shortly after my wait time changed to 19 minutes. Congress is holding up federal loans
Harris campaign money came from donations. Where's trump helping anyone ? Dolly Parton gave $2million of her own money to help her community, Pidgeon Fordge TN hurricaine victims. trump is supposed to be a billioniare. What has trump done for WNC hurricane victims . Nothing !
It's for the FEMA employees! NOT the victims! There are 3 - THREE!!! - of these facilities! And yet these people can't get money or out of tents!!! 😡😡😡😡
FEMA has become a foul word these days. Unity with your neighbor is American tradition. Thank God for all the charitys and generous Americans who care for fellow humans. Volunteers stepping forward out shining anything FEMA is capable of doing is fantastic to see. Maybe funds will be available like tommorrow.
I’m so damn sick of hearing about FEMA. FEMA is not coming. Stop waiting for FEMA. It’s up to the locals and the volunteers to get this stuff straight.
@paulaweadon8130 I understand that. But just like the famous quote said: “The scariest thing you’ll ever hear is I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”.
This breaks my heart that our government response to this disaster has been so abysmal. These situations are desperate. It’s not like they just had a damaged roof or a little flooding. No - their entire house was washed down the river, their cars washed down the river, their workplace destroyed so they no longer have a job. We must do better to help these people - it’s been 6 weeks now. How long can people wait & hold on?
Is the GOV not providing because they hope people will (literally) break up their tents and move to somewhere else so they can grab the land? What other reason would they have?
Come on people. Think outside the box. Send in the SeaBees and Army Corp of Engineers to construct temporary housing and sanitation. Wood platforms with canvas tents on them and small wood stoves would do for now. Hoop monkey huts are fast to put up. Shipping containers work great. That compound with all of those trailers and supplies is a gut punch to those folks living in tents and under tarps. Looks like FEMA is waiting for forms and approval when they should be pushing that stuff out as quickly as possible. It’s almost like they are punishing those in need for not voting for Trump. The state police or county sheriff should go seize all of it throw FEMA out and distribute that stuff. You don’t wait for permission or permits when people are suffering.
NC Republican State Government has passed about $600 million for WNC hurricane victims. NC Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper asked for a much higher amount of money for hurricane victims but his Republican House refused !
@@elainegoad9777 nice lie Roy Cooper did nothing for 2 weeks, more help for western has come from out of State People see google and You Tube if it is not to hard for you to Handle, Roy has a lot of Equiment at Fort Brag and Pole AFB that he has not Used
You asked where is FEMA? If you followed up the news you know they were up in Michigan with 350 trucks doing a staging process, while neglecting the job they were meant to do in Carolinas and Tennessee
American Red Cross in Asheville off Merrimon Ave has generators, tents with wood stoves, water filters, water containers, tarps! Please use this resource!
Fema sent 350 semi trucks with food to Michigan. Seems funny that food thst should have gone to grief stricken states ened up in Walt's state of Michigan. Was he going to lie to the people of Michigan saying this food was stored for some time. SEND THOSE SEMIS BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL WAITING FOR RELIEF TO ARRIVE.
@TheRealLockRobster Can't help but notice you're not linking to any proof. The Kneady Homesteader, who raised the question initially, did a follow up clarifying that there are no FEMA trucks there or planned to be there.
We live in Erwin , tn north of Asheville- cannot access our campground where we were full timers - roads washed out- NO FEMA after 3 tries. we are teachers in the area. PLEASE HELP
What has billioniare trump done to help anyone ? What has trump's friend. the richest man in the world. Elon Musk done to help hurricane victims ? trump is creating an department and office for Elon Musk in the building next to the White House. trump is sitting around eating Mc'D burgers, junkfood and diet coke and playing golf and hiring unqualified ass kissers for his new administration. trump could care less about WNC hurricaine victims. trump is more concerned about deporting millions of immigrants ($88 million per year of taxpayer money) immedately than giving funding to aid FEMA to help hurricaine victims in WNC. If Dolly Parton can give $2million to help her community in Pidgeon Fordge TN hurricane victims and trumps a billioniare gives nothing, what does that tell you ?
How do you expect FEMA to process claims while they are mourning the Presidential elections? Many of them might lose their comfortable government jobs.
Please keep reporting on it and don't let it rest until they get the help they need.Thank you.

FEMA needs money to purchase trailers from manufactures to give to people for shelter. When a Government agency has no funding who do you blame, the agency? No. You blame the Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and the majority Republicans who haven't yet passed a funding bill !

Can you say HARRIS/Biden spend spend spend
@@elainegoad9777 Was the bill just for FEMA funding only?
@@elainegoad9777 Well when you keep on giving 40 billion increments to Ukraine... can't say I don't blame them
When Katrena hit I passed caravans of FEMA trailers headed to La., why can't these people get the same treatment? So angry.
different President
So sorry😢😢
Thank you for continuing to report from WNC. They need help, this was unlike any other disaster as far as damage and scale. They need help!
Maybe the SBA wouldn't be out of money if they didn't ignore whistleblower reports about PPP loan/loan forgiveness fraud, and het back the funds that should not have been forgiven....

The evil WEF depopulation plan. DEWs.
FEMA just put 350 semis completely filled with supplies at an abandoned airport in northern Michigan where there has been no disaster and where the population only numbers in the hundreds. One could be curious as to why all these supplies were not sent to NC and TN. 350 filled trucks.
You have to excuse FEMA right now, they’re kind of busy sending 350 tractor trailers to Oscoda Michigan as well as other states in America.
They’re NOT who ppl have been led to believe.
At all....

Sorry Joe Biden still in until January, illegal immigrants come first
Eating his ice cream sorry
@@JULIEBROTHERS-qr5or if he cared about USA, the national guards, and some troops, would be there, plus helicopter 🚁 bringing food, he puts Illegal immigrants first, making sure they get a plane to sanctuary cities as soon as they come in, with our national guards helping give them food,and money to leave on. The worse president, besides Obama. Both dirt bags.
@@JULIEBROTHERS-qr5or sniffen hair
And CPS will come and take their children away because they are not being provided for adequately!
The story not being told
They are hiding everything. Cooper was on a video at New York Times Climate talking about changing flood plains. Even though it is less than 1% .
We are hearing these rumors... can anyone confirm?
North Carolina is being sued in a class action lawsuit for putting foster care kids in mental institutions etc. Corruption from the highest level.
All part of ‘the plan’.
With over 330,000 migrants kids ‘missing’.
On top of the 549,519+ ‘unaccompanied’ ... that we know of!
The gravy train lines are all part of a much bigger, _gross_ Pic. 🤮
Thankfully, God hasn’t missed a thing.🔥
Why all the FEMA trailers going to Michigan?
This is so sad! Our government can house illegal aliens in nice hotels but they can’t get the people that are US citizens the temporary housing they so desperately need right now! What is our country coming to? This breaks my heart, please help these people !!!!!
Land grab. They want the lithium.
people I know here have been offered hotels where they are available, most local ones are closed or full. Local folks dont want to take the available rooms an hour away
Adams finally just stopped the $1,400 pp/mo the last 3+ yrs in NYC after he saw the new law of the land win.👍
We’ve wasted Billion$ on ppl undeserving. And sooo much more ppl are not aware of. :/
And will pay a HUGE price for it.
Hope you *know Jesus.* ♥✝
@@mkauf1197especially when so many of them have lost their vehicles in the flooding.
These people have been let down by its own government! Why? Their government looks after migrants, looks after other countries gives away billions! For gods sake US government help these people now! Winter is here more people will die, are thousands already dead not bad enough? 😢 ❤ & 🙏🏻from the UK. Never forget. 💕💞💗
Americans first!!! This is a disgrace..
There is no reason I can think of that the Biltmore Mansion needs to step in and provide and protect the people that live right next to them. I visited this summer it can accommodate a mass amount of people and needs to be done stop waiting for the feds they are ridiculous, Biltmore can bill them later for housing.
Maybe someone should ask our new governor elect of No. Carolina about his plans to help with this horrific crisis.
Instead of arming Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc
Instead of pursuing delusions of grandeur, the US should seek mutually beneficial cooperation with the rest the world.
Trump wants to expand the Abraham Accords. Be watching for a peace deal.
When the federal fiscal year began on October 1st, how 2 weeks later was the SBA out of money already?
@@carrotspaghetti236 Solar and EV scam small business took it.
Spent for the countless millions of new residents incoming....🤮
They took all suppliers and money with all those semis.To Michigan to that Air Force base, that's abandoned.What are they doing?What are they preparing for.
Going to get real ugly, real fast.....
Especially since the new law of the land was landslided in.
Pray it doesn’t happen.🙏🙏🙏
This is a _massive_ spiritual battle.
Good WILL prevail...But that’s at the end.
Much hell prior...

You won’t be sorry...
Guaranteed.💜
This is hugelly so sad 😭😭😭
Why are FEMA 350 tractor trailers headed to Michigan?
those areas vote red. helping the blue first
That's how we are feeling here. Especially since that report came out
Asheville is blue area
@TheLastLineLive Is the surrounding areas?
Yes, it's a small blue metro area totally surrounded by a broad and strong rural red region. And over in Tenn, MAGAs are actually saying the exact opposite, that blue NC is getting FEMA help while deep red Tennesee is not. Gov. red tape makes it a long difficult process regardless. In past floods here, the nonprofit Appalachia Service Project based in Johnson City, Tn., has won enough community donations to match large government grants that allowed them to replace more lost homes ... with small frame houses built by trained staff and volunteers ... than any other entity in this area. Even at that, it was about a year after the flood before their little houses went up at Dry Creek near Jonesborough and Cash Hollow near Johnson City. They were prettier and much more durable than the FEMA trailers that went in along with them at about the same time.
@TheLastLineLive so is boone and chimney rock. Those are the 3 areas getting the most help. It's us volunteers helping the other 50 small towns/communities.
I am not speaking from speculation, I live in northern burke co, right in the middle of all the destruction
Everyone keep posting!! Everyone, we need to hold our government accountable!
Thank you.
Thank you so very much for showing the FEMA community that they have. Here FEMA is inside guarded gates, have nice warm trailers and beds, a bathroom in each trailer, while the American Tax Payers, who lost everything they had, are sleeping in tents, in the cold, no water, no bathrooms. Please Please Please keep reporting on this awful situation of "The People " in NC, Tenn, SC, Virginia. It makes me sick to see how they are being treated by the government of America
Thank you Brian for keeping this in the face of people. This is a disgrace. Migrants are treated better than these poor people.
Another question...Where is the Red Cross?
Busy using 90% of donations for "administration".
@@obxjeepguy For border walkers...
Its a disgrace how our government treats our own citizens.
Going to get much, much worse....
*Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.* ♥✝
Thank you for exposing this. These are Americans that need help!
FLEW OVER THE SAME SPOT FEW DAYS AGO. NO FEMA STILL!!! Swannanoa
the Big Question is , Where the F did the Tax Payers money that was in the FEMA fund GO?, that is there to help American Citizens in times like this. Who took the Money, where did it go? everyone who had anything to do with the removing of this money & tranfer to a Different Fund , Should all get Arrest & sent to Prison!
The border
A lot of it went for diapers and ice cream for Joe.
GA -No help either. Customer reps hanging up, holding on the line as #298 one time and was given #187 the other day with a 9 minute wait time and shortly after my wait time changed to 19 minutes. Congress is holding up federal loans
The American people are who are helping these communities. ❤❤
This makes me so angry. Our taxes, NOT WORKING. Ugh.
A billion to Kamala campaign and these poor folks suffer
Harris campaign money came from donations. Where's trump helping anyone ? Dolly Parton gave $2million of her own money to help her community, Pidgeon Fordge TN hurricaine victims. trump is supposed to be a billioniare. What has trump done for WNC hurricane victims . Nothing !
Thinking the same thing,
It's for the FEMA employees! NOT the victims! There are 3 - THREE!!! - of these facilities! And yet these people can't get money or out of tents!!! 😡😡😡😡
Blame congress
@seraphim_sounds I blame anyone handing out billions to other countries RIGHT NOW
FEMA has become a foul word these days. Unity with your neighbor is American tradition. Thank God for all the charitys and generous Americans who care for fellow humans. Volunteers stepping forward out shining anything FEMA is capable of doing is fantastic to see. Maybe funds will be available like tommorrow.
I’m so damn sick of hearing about FEMA. FEMA is not coming. Stop waiting for FEMA. It’s up to the locals and the volunteers to get this stuff straight.
You are absolutely correct. It really isn't the government's job to help you.
Fema has been here from the get go, so has the national guard. trump lied and you fools took the bait as always
@obxjeepguy
Actually it is FEMA's job to give aid to Americans that are victims of disasters.
@paulaweadon8130 I understand that. But just like the famous quote said: “The scariest thing you’ll ever hear is I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”.
@ I absolutely agree but with our current administration it’s not going to happen
Those poor.people are still suffering almost two.months after the hurricane. Why can't enough resources be marshaled to help.them!
Bring back the Civil Defense program so locals can better help one another.
This breaks my heart that our government response to this disaster has been so abysmal. These situations are desperate. It’s not like they just had a damaged roof or a little flooding. No - their entire house was washed down the river, their cars washed down the river, their workplace destroyed so they no longer have a job.
We must do better to help these people - it’s been 6 weeks now. How long can people wait & hold on?
Is the GOV not providing because they hope people will (literally) break up their tents and move to somewhere else so they can grab the land? What other reason would they have?
Come on people. Think outside the box. Send in the SeaBees and Army Corp of Engineers to construct temporary housing and sanitation. Wood platforms with canvas tents on them and small wood stoves would do for now. Hoop monkey huts are fast to put up. Shipping containers work great. That compound with all of those trailers and supplies is a gut punch to those folks living in tents and under tarps. Looks like FEMA is waiting for forms and approval when they should be pushing that stuff out as quickly as possible. It’s almost like they are punishing those in need for not voting for Trump. The state police or county sheriff should go seize all of it throw FEMA out and distribute that stuff. You don’t wait for permission or permits when people are suffering.
why do you look to the gov to solve all your problems and pay to re house people?
What we really need is a moratorium on evictions. Where the F is the state ?!
NC Republican State Government has passed about $600 million for WNC hurricane victims. NC Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper asked for a much higher amount of money for hurricane victims but his Republican House refused !
@@elainegoad9777 nice lie Roy Cooper did nothing for 2 weeks, more help for western has come from out of State People see google and You Tube if it is not to hard for you to Handle, Roy has a lot of Equiment at Fort Brag and Pole AFB that he has not Used
Going down to volunteer next week i do not know what to expect
You asked where is FEMA? If you followed up the news you know they were up in Michigan with 350 trucks doing a staging process, while neglecting the job they were meant to do in Carolinas and Tennessee
Our pitiful excuse of a government.... This is terrible. Praying for our people.
Truly disgusting. Where's all the little trailer houses? They had for the victims of Katrina?
American Red Cross in Asheville off Merrimon Ave has generators, tents with wood stoves, water filters, water containers, tarps! Please use this resource!
Shame shame on FEMA!!!!!!!!!!
Blame congress. Did you not hear them say Congress wouldn’t give them money & the okay to go ahead?
Praying..😢😢😢😢
No responses from my FEMA case. Helene victim here.
Try contacting grindstone ministries. They helped a ton of people and got loads and loads of donations.
What about the FEMA trailers etc that FEMA sent to Michigan? And why didn’t they send them to the Carolina’s where they need them?
Fema sent 350 semi trucks with food to Michigan. Seems funny that food thst should have gone to grief stricken states ened up in Walt's state of Michigan. Was he going to lie to the people of Michigan saying this food was stored for some time. SEND THOSE SEMIS BACK TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL WAITING FOR RELIEF TO ARRIVE.
No, they didn't. That was another stupid RUclips conspiracy theory.
Why are you spreading lies? That doesn't help anybody.
It is true -
@TheRealLockRobster Can't help but notice you're not linking to any proof. The Kneady Homesteader, who raised the question initially, did a follow up clarifying that there are no FEMA trucks there or planned to be there.
Thank you
They'll show up when power is transferred. Prayer's for our brothers and sisters. ❤
FEMA they are in Michigan doing a mock when we have a real emergency. Why?
We live in Erwin , tn north of Asheville- cannot access our campground where we were full timers - roads washed out- NO FEMA after 3 tries. we are teachers in the area. PLEASE HELP
Wow! Actual TRUTH being reported
The state typically provides resources and FEMA reimburses them.
Yes. All these FEMA conspiracists don't even understand what FEMA's role is.
More Democrat government.
Whatever the system is supposed to be, it’s definitely broken.
Not with a dem like cooper
FEMA responds instantly to anyone displaying a Trump sucks sign
What has billioniare trump done to help anyone ? What has trump's friend. the richest man in the world. Elon Musk done to help hurricane victims ? trump is creating an department and office for Elon Musk in the building next to the White House. trump is sitting around eating Mc'D burgers, junkfood and diet coke and playing golf and hiring unqualified ass kissers for his new administration. trump could care less about WNC hurricaine victims. trump is more concerned about deporting millions of immigrants ($88 million per year of taxpayer money) immedately than giving funding to aid FEMA to help hurricaine victims in WNC. If Dolly Parton can give $2million to help her community in Pidgeon Fordge TN hurricane victims and trumps a billioniare gives nothing, what does that tell you ?
Prob bc Congress is the one stopping them from helping, & their mostly conservative
That's why I'm checking up on this. They seem to be all in helping LA and my first thought was whoa have they even helped the Helene victims yet?
Those people are being punished for the way they voted.
Are the people there getting unusual illnesses, due to polluted soil and water?
Yes. Many are having respiratory issues from breathing in contaminants in the dried up mud.
Absolutely disgusting
How do you expect FEMA to process claims while they are mourning the Presidential elections? Many of them might lose their comfortable government jobs.
