Trump just denied North Carolina's request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it "unwarranted." 🇺🇸

FEMA has denied North Carolina’s request to continue matching 100% of the state’s spending on Hurricane Helene recovery.
In a letter to Gov. Josh Stein on Friday, acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton wrote that the agency had determined the full cost share was “not warranted.”
“The need in western North Carolina remains immense — people need debris removed, homes rebuilt, and roads restored,” Stein said in a statement.
“I am extremely disappointed and urge the President to reconsider FEMA’s bad decision, even for 90 days. Six months later, the people of western North Carolina are working hard to get back on their feet; they need FEMA to help them get the job done.”
FEMA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The agency’s decision means that North Carolina will lose a critical share of federal assistance in what’s expected to be a years-long rebuild process.
After Helene struck in late September, the Biden administration gave the green light for FEMA to reimburse North Carolina on 100% of disaster relief assistance — particularly with debris removal and emergency protective services. The cost-share allowed state officials to plow ahead on time-sensitive needs more quickly.
In December, FEMA also set the federal cost-share for all other categories of assistance at 90%. But the 100% period for debris cleanup and other services was set to end after six months.
Local and state officials have requested repeatedly that it be extended — preferably another six months — in order to speed up recovery from the deadliest hurricane in state history. But the agency, now under the authority of a president who has floated the idea of dismantling it altogether, will no longer shoulder full costs for that work.
U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards, the Republican congressman who represents western North Carolina, told the Asheville Citizen-Times that Stein’s extension request had been “unprecedented.”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was Trump’s former Press Secretary and a professional MAGA ass-kisser. She is currently governor of Arkansas, which endured damage from a whopping 14 tornadoes in mid-March. Last week, she made a request to FEMA for a “major disaster declaration” in efforts to receive funding for her state’s recovery. The request was denied and now she’s appealing directly to Trump to “reconsider.”

Right. And so it is that much more egregious and monstrous and cruel that under her and her dad’s guidance, governance and care: 33% of Arkansan kids live in poverty. 9/100,000 women die in childbirth, 8/1000 live births end in death, for infants born there.
20% of Arkansans overall live in poverty, and most make well under the US median wage.
25% of Arkansans receive Medicaid, with 70% of rural residents—and Arkansas is overwhelmingly rural—receiving it.
The teen pregnancy rate there is 25/1000 girls and women aged 15-19–one of the highest rates in the nation.
The incarceration rate there is 915/100,000. Very, very high.
Arkansas, a former slave state, really shows its ass to the rest of the world. The state only has 3M people even in it. Can’t be that freaking hard to get things done. Thats smaller than the number of people in a major east coast city and its major metro area, in a blue state, like Boston, Massachusetts.
It is 72% white, 95% Christian, and 100% doomed, as long as people like this deranged, out of touch, white woman and her Huckabee crime family keep on “governing” it.

Local governments scramble to replace federal disaster funding
April 30, 20255:34 PM ET
Heard on All Things Considered
Rebecca Hersher
The Trump administration canceled billions of dollars of grants that were supposed to help small towns across the U.S keep their residents safe from floods, wildfires and other extreme weather. In one small Maryland town, the loss of funding means people are trapped in harm's way.
MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
The Trump administration canceled billions of dollars of grants that were supposed to help the country prepare for weather disasters. Towns, cities and tribes were counting on that money to protect residents from floods, wildfires, hurricanes. It's a particularly tough situation for small rural towns that do not have any other way to pay for such projects. NPR's Rebecca Hersher visited one such town.
REBECCA HERSHER, BYLINE: The Sun Valley Mobile Home Park in Rising Sun, Maryland, is at the bottom of a hill.
CALVIN BONENBERGER: So here's the trailer park right here, and you can see...
HERSHER: Calvin Bonenberger is the town administrator.
BONENBERGER: This is all low-income housing, and the flood level is up to the roof line of all of these properties. And so, remember when I was telling you...
HERSHER: This area has flooded over and over. In 2021, the flooding was so dangerous that people had to be rescued from their homes.
BONENBERGER: We're talking about water that was about this high. The water...
HERSHER: Like 3 feet.
BONENBERGER: Yeah, 3 feet.
HERSHER: The low-lying trailers aren't a safe place to live anymore. The town has a plan - help the remaining residents move to higher ground and turn the damaged area into a park. But fixing flooding problems in Rising Sun is expensive. It's not just the trailer park. The town's wastewater treatment plant also floods when it rains a lot and sends contaminated water into nearby streams. Fixing both problems would cost millions of dollars that Rising Sun just doesn't have. The town has fewer than 3,000 residents. It only collects about $1 million in taxes every year, says Bonenberger.
BONENBERGER: You know, not everybody's wealthy.
HERSHER: And so Rising Sun applied for federal grants, which took years of work, not only to get the application materials together, but also for Bonenberger and other town leaders to make the case to local residents, many of whom don't support federal involvement in local projects. This area voted overwhelmingly for President Trump.
BONENBERGER: I think it's safe to say that the people in this area, you know, they are conservative, and they do believe that there's too much government waste going on.
HERSHER: Bonenberger generally agrees with that. But in this case, asking for federal money made a lot of sense to him. The funds the town applied for were offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, and they were for this exact purpose. FEMA's idea was to invest money before weather disasters to prevent even more expensive damage later. Studies have estimated that you spend $1 now to prepare, it saves about $7 later by preventing damage. And as the Earth warms up, extreme weather, like the heavy rain that causes flooding in Rising Sun, is only getting more common.
BONENBERGER: Our sewer plant is going to continue to overflow. And there has to be money to resolve it. We don't have the money to resolve it. That's what this money is for. This is an no-brainer.
HERSHER: Last year, Rising Sun won two grants - one to fix the sewer plant and another to fix the trailer park. It was a total of about $5 million, which was good news for people like Margaret Dunn (ph). She lives across the street from the Sun Valley Mobile Home Park.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: (Vocalizing).
MARGARET DUNN: Oh.
HERSHER: On a Wednesday afternoon, she was outside playing with her 2-year-old grandson and her son, Aaron (ph). She says, the floods have taken a toll on the area.
DUNN: We had a neighborhood with kids that played, and - you know what I mean? There was activity.
AARON: Yeah.
DUNN: Neighbors watched out...
AARON: Ice cream truck.
DUNN: ...For each other and stuff.
AARON: Yeah.
DUNN: That stuff is gone.
HERSHER: She points out that a lot of the trailers are still damaged. Warped coat hangers and waterlogged books sit on the porch of one. Another has insulation drooping from a giant hole in the siding. A lot of people have moved away. Some have stayed. The town was going to use the FEMA money to remove all the debris and turn the area that floods into a park instead, but now that money is gone. The Trump administration canceled the entire program. In a statement announcing the decision, FEMA called the grants, quote, "wasteful and ineffective." I asked Bonenberger what he thinks of that characterization.
In their eyes, this program was waste.
BONENBERGER: Right. I think I feel very strongly, and I think my personal belief is shared by a lot of people in this area. We all sort of suspected that probably our taxpayer money was not being used the way we would like it to be used. So with all this being said, I'm not looking to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
HERSHER: The baby in this case being the money for his town. He thinks FEMA was wrong to cancel Rising Sun's grants, but he still supports the larger effort to cut wasteful spending. The administration just needs to use a scalpel, he says, not a dull knife. At the same time, he's frustrated, and he's concerned about the safety of his residents every time it rains. If he had a chance to make his case to the administration, here's what he'd say.
BONENBERGER: Guys, this is dangerous. This is the whole reason why you put this funding out there.
HERSHER: FEMA did not respond to questions from NPR about why it deemed the grants wasteful or about the administration's larger approach to disaster preparedness. Rebecca Hersher, NPR News.

Take a few minutes for this one—because you might need FEMA in the near future, and you need to know what’s currently going on. Or not going on. Thank you, @repjasmine.bsky.social for telling it straight, sounding the alarm, and sharing how we can help.

St. Louis & cities in Kentucky hit by tornadoes 2 weeks ago are only the beginning. MO republicans have not done much & our mayor is begging for help. Of course the hardest hit in StL is a black neighborhood. FEMA should be helping them rn

I have no complaints with FEMA. I had a lot of assistance from them (financial and otherwise) during the Superstorm Sandy mess. They even had people come to drop off lunch for us and the workers cleaning out my basement!

I so look forward to watch this beautiful woman's rise to the top echelons of government.
She is a superstar. One of the very best in Congress.
Apparently tireless in the fight to save our Democracy.
We all should be inspired by her courage.

Dumps FEMA just stiffed North Carolinas requests for aid again, because the Governor is a Dem. A friend of mine worked for FEMA and he was always on call and always leaving town sometimes for months. They are truly dedicated public servants who sacrifice a lot.

Hello
My family in Gaza And now lives in a tent without the bare necessities of life
Your donation of $5 or $10 could really save us

If you can donate a little, that would mean a lot to me, and if you can't, sharing my story would make a big difference.

We had to drive though in the way to an appointment. Saw people on the sidewalk with trash bags. I found out later the city condemned a lot of apartments and houses. Terrible thing to happen all around. Tried to explain to my 5 year old what happened. She wanted to know if they would be alright.

Trump Just Announced His Plan To "Phase Out" FEMA After Hurricane Season
The president said states need to bear the costs of their own recovery and if a state's governor can't do so, "then maybe they shouldn’t be governor.”
www.buzzfeed.com
No more Fema after this hurricane season ends..
