NC's FEMA aid extension for Hurricane Helene recovery denied
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — The White House denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA to extend full reimbursement for Helene damages.
The state initially requested an extension of 100% of federal costs for debris removal and emergency protective measures. Friday, the agency denied the request stating it was “not warranted.”
In a post on X, Governor Josh Stein said he heard about the news while in Newland, a community devastated by Hurricane Helene. He said the need in Western North Carolina is still immense.
