FEMA Turned Its Back on Western North Carolina—And It’s Time We Say “Enough”
When disaster strikes, the government’s first duty is to protect its citizens. Unfortunately, FEMA has failed that test in Western North Carolina. Following the devastation of Tropical Storm Helene, entire communities have been left in ruin, and the federal government has turned its back on those in need. With lives lost, homes destroyed, and businesses shuttered, the denial of extended aid is a slap in the face to struggling North Carolinians. It’s time we say “enough” and demand action. Join me in standing up for our mountain neighbors and ensuring that no one is abandoned in their time of need.
