Kristy Tallman+FollowHelene Recovery in North Carolina Passes $1 Billion as FEMA Sends Another $33 Million 💰🌪️🇺🇸 DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Western North Carolina’s Helene recovery has now crossed $1 billion in FEMA funding, with another $33 million approved this week for 44 new projects. The money will repair schools, water systems, roads, public safety buildings, and other critical infrastructure hit hard by Helene. Most of the funding — nearly $700 million — has been pushed out since President Trump took office as part of the effort to speed up disaster recovery. FEMA is covering at least 90% of eligible costs due to the scale of the disaster. #NorthCarolina #FEMA #HeleneRecovery #DisasterRelief #WLNN 📸 Source: U.S. Department of Homeland Security60Share
