FEMA took forever to show up for aid. When FEMA showed up they actively interfered with the aid efforts that were being managed by locals, i.e. you can’t go up that road/trail it’s too dangerous. Or you can’t rebuild because now your land is a flood plain. FEMA offered a $750 check that many residents say is nearly impossible to claim. A few weeks later FEMA says they are all out of money and basically jumps ship.
Contrast with, CA fires and the government says they will 100% fund relief efforts for 180 days. Double standard much? |
My take ... watching the recovery efforts here ... destined for the mtns.
The local, state, private, and federal responses were ALL overwhelmed ... but they were doing the best they could with limited access and infrastructure damage.
Could it have been better ... of course!
Don't know what you guys expected ... and why
?
Same as it ever was in rural NC areas ... west, piedmont, or east.
Or even Pettyville : D
