North Carolina residents express outrage with the lack of visible FEMA presence

The Shelter and Services Program (SSP), administered by the FEMA in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), provides financial support to non-federal entities to provide humanitarian services to "noncitizen migrants." Between FY2023 and FY2024, at least $1 billion has been funneled into the program. In just 2024, over $20 million went to the NYC Office of Management and Budget, much of that money to pay for migrants.
The Emergency Food and Shelter Program, another FEMA-funded program, has also been repurposed into a fund for migrants via federal distributions to local social-service organizations. The funding allocated to the program has climbed dramatically over recent years, from $30 million in 2019 to $425 million in 2023.

This Biden/Harris policy of putting illegals ahead of the legal American taxpayers who fund these programs will stop if Trump is elected.

Do you have a link showing these programs are run by FEMA and not HLS?
 
There are some uninformed, stupid lefties on this forum.


The Homeland Security Act consolidated component agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), into the Department. The Secretary of Homeland Security is the head of the Department and has direction, authority, and control over it.

I think that IS what I have been telling you for a LONG time now.
It was the dept. of Homeland security that took the money that was suppose to be used for things like Hurricanes and gave it to the illegals NOT FEMA.
Have a nice day

Mayorkas Warns FEMA Lacks Funding for Hurricane Cleanup after Agency Spent over a Billion on Migrants
Caroline Downey, National Review, October 3, 2024

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has spent more than one billion dollars on services for illegal immigrants over the past year, now has insufficient funds to last through the hurricane season.
"We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what -- what is imminent."

Hurricane Helene has ravaged the west coast of Florida and several states in the Southeast, flooding towns, destroying properties, and killing over 160 people. Florida’s Gulf Coast experienced record-breaking storm surge in some areas, with a wall of water many feet above the normal high tide line crashing onto the land. The Blue Ridge Mountains suffered major devastation, with at least 57 people dead in and around Asheville, North Carolina.

Congress recently provided $20 billion for FEMA's disaster-relief fund as part of a short-term government spending bill to fund the government through mid-December.

If true, here's one possible explanationfor the lack of visibility....

FEMA contractors ordered to ‘stand down’ after security threats, messages show


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - An inspection agency that works as a contractor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency has ordered its employees in western North Carolina to cease inspections over the weekend and return to hotels, WBTV has confirmed.

Sunday evening, the Washington Post first reported messages about reports of threats to FEMA-affiliated workers in Rutherford County. WBTV has independently confirmed that reporting with sources with direct knowledge of the threats.

The news comes after FEMA workers across Hurricane Helene’s disaster zone in western North Carolina have been targeted with misinformation and rumors about the federal government’s recovery operations in the area.

Messages that WBTV has reviewed, sent to employees of a contracting agency that works with FEMA for inspections, appear to show an impact area across western North Carolina.


“Effective immediately, disaster-wide -- cease inspections today and return to your hotels,” an alert from Vanguard Inspection Services read on Saturday. “FEMA received news that the Title 10 (active military unit deployed to NC) came across some trucks of militia units who said they were out hunting FEMA personnel.”

Vanguard was not immediately available for comment.

Late Sunday evening, a second message from the company told employees to continue their standdown throughout Monday until further notice.

Earlier Sunday morning in a Facebook post, the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged threats to FEMA employees and contractors in western North Carolina but said there had been no reports in Ashe County.

YEP and I am sure they will be crying even more IF this new storm that is starting hits FLA draining even more FEMA resources.
Congress HAS to get off their asses and put more money into FEMA and make sure it is earmarked just for emergencies like these and not let HLS take and give it to whom ever.

Perhaps it would be better if FEMA stopped funding people that are here illegally. FEMA is supposed to cover natural disasters not those created by an inept administration.

Why do you people keep blaming FEMA?
It was HLS that took the money from FEMA .
Blame them.
And again when the House appropriates money for FEMA they should write in the bill this money can ONLY be used by FEMA for disaster relief .

FEMA does not connect power. As much as you lie to yourself, this you should know.
 
"Also on Sunday, a spokesperson for FEMA acknowledged some “operational adjustments” for safety issues in western North Carolina but did not confirm any threats."


"WAPO is reporting"...lol

I don't give a fuck it wasn't FEMA that gave them the money.
Tell Congress to write a new bill funding FEMA and make sure ONLY FEMA can use that money and ONLY for Disaster relief.
And take FEMA OUT of HLS so this shit doesn't happen again.
