Nov 18, 2024, 08:00 PM
President Biden has requested $98.6 billion in emergency disaster relief funding from Congress in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which caused extensive damage across several southeastern states, including North Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. In North Carolina alone, Hurricane Helene resulted in $53 billion in damages, making it the most devastating storm to hit the state. The funding request includes $40 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to replenish its Disaster Relief Fund, as well as additional support for housing, infrastructure, schools, farmers, and other affected communities. Lawmakers from both parties have urged swift action to provide relief to the devastated regions, emphasizing the urgent need to help communities rebuild and recover.
