Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families.
But in some N.C. counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes.

I do not want to hear one GOP member bitching and moaning about social programs during the November elections when Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc (at a MINIMUM) are ALL gonna get #HurricaneHelene FEMA help in the coming days.
Not one damned word! Not One! You HEAR ME, DeSantis, Kemp, Huckabee-Sanders, Ivey, Lee, etc? 🤬
Milton rapidly intensified to a Category 4 #hurricane with 150mph winds Monday morning. Landfall is expected as a Category 3 hurricane Wednesday night or early Thursday morning #Florida https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/milton-forecast-hurricane-tracker/?entryId=114558142&id=114553995&cid=social_twitter_abcn
the first #hurricane i survived as a child in Puerto Rico. this was 1975 and it is one of my core memories.
Mami's grandma survived the tsumani of the early 1900s. Mama J passed on that experience to Nana who passed it to Mami then to me. what we lost was the inevitable but were able to save the basics. when one of my besties lost everything, was able to give her clothes & toys. decades later, she said, she kept them all as a reminder of our friendship.

Staff of #FEMA were left baffled on Monday after #DavidRichardson, the head of the US disaster agency since May, said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a #HurricaneSeason, acc/to 4 sources familiar w/the situation.
The US #hurricane season officially began on Sunday & lasts through November. #NOAA forecast last week that this year's season is expected to bring as many as 10 #hurricanes.
