People in 17 counties in Florida, 25 counties in North Carolina and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, as well as 13 counties in South Carolina can now apply for assistance with FEMA. People can apply in four ways: online by visiting disasterassistance.gov, calling 1-800-621-3362, on the FEMA App, or via disaster recovery centers.
I honestly don't get why people are so outraged that it's the same amount of money that people got in the Lahaina fires.
If it was based on cost of living, then the people getting money for Helene should get much less.
I'm frankly disgusted by so-called conservatives whining that they're not getting enough money from FEMA.
And, yeah, I know the typical response will be something along the lines of "I pay taxes, so I paid for that FEMA money I'm squalling over!"
So, fuck it, just start squalling about welfare and food stamps, and all the other "free" money you want the government to give you, since you pay taxes. To hell with pride and self respect and self reliance. Sit there and blubber about how the gubmint isn't taking care of you like they should.
Note: This is speaking of the general "you", not you, as in Brent75, specifically.
Isn’t that the exact same amount they offered the Hawaiian families what the fxck is going on?
I just realized my post is identical to several others, but I’m leaving it because we’re all speaking the truth. And we wanna know what the hell is going on!!!!
Thats what they gave my mom in 2017 during hurricane Harvey. As 4ft of water sat in her house. Then after evaluation, gave her $10.5k to rebuild it. But the same day, condemned the structure!. Then she died in 2018 waiting for fema to help. I didn't let it die. 5 years later, my wife and I finally won the fight and fema ended up building my deceased mother a new home. I mean, I inherited the problem. So I fought to get resolution. We currently live in my deceased mothers home and almost to the point of releasing the 3 year lien on the property. But not everyone has 5 years to fight these A-holes for what's right. Oh, and before they'd build the house, I had to give them the $10.5k back!
It was a bad two years for her. Lost my dad in June '17. Sept '17 Harvey's wrath. Lost mom in March '18. Dad had been sick(lung issues) and in hospitals, rehab, LTac, nursing home, since late '16. The house they built is mine now. But I've turned it into my moms place. Birds everywhere! Feeders, baths, even curtain rods have birds on them. She loved birds! We have families of cardinals here. Iykyk!
I've lived here for 20 years. Even during the Obama's 2012 run, there weren't this many signs in yards. But they're everywhere for two people who have literally accomplished nothing.
For Biden 4 years ago, there were perhaps 20% as many signs as I'm seeing for Kamala/Walz. It's incredibly sad that during a time where a mass awakening should be occurring, intelligence has actually regressed in my city.
Same as Lahaina!! WTF?!?!
$50 more than Lahaina, I think. Their generosity knows no bounds.
To cover the effect of Biden-Harris-caused inflation

There needs to be an updootdowndoot button for comments like this, where there’s agreement in abhorrence.

Is FEMA out there handing out cash? Or are they planning on mailing everybody a pre-paid debit card, that nobody can even get let along use?
how dare you be outraged, it's much more important to send billions overseas and give illegals 50k a month, bigot. u/#honkler
That's all the money left after giving billions upon billions to Iran and Israel.

There's a standard dollar amount for "disaster relief" a person gets. Doesn't matter if they're in Hawaii or North Carolina.
Then make ya pay tax on it.. lmao. This is insanity!!
Good news Taiwanese government got 500 million just saying
Wow. My homeowners insurance company pays $250 whenever the power goes out just to cover lost food in the freezer.
That'll buy them ten dozen eggs. What are they complaining about?
Eleven dozen. Don’t exaggerate, it makes us look silly.
I would tell them to pay me with ammunition.
Same friking amount as the Hawaii/ Lahaina fires.
Gosh now someone purchase a latte, a few gallons of gasoline, and last but not lease a smoke

I'm sorry to hear what your mom had to go through. Injustice makes my blood boils.. these people need to be removed from office asap

If I'm not mistaken is also the same amount they offered the Hawaii fire survivors. Insulting!
Why is it insulting?
Shit, that money would go much farther in states in the South East than they would go in Hawaii.
Wow! Enough to buy 2 full carts of groceries, or 2 new tires!
Thanks, Joe Biden!!
Oh no danger of that actually happening.

People shouldn't get any sort of tax payer relief for stuff like this.
It's why things like insurance, church charities, neighbor to neighbor kindness, and personal savings exists.
