A family from a town in North Carolina region have alleged that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had abandoned the town’s citizens after hurricane Helene caused massive destruction in the area affecting property and life. Moreover, the town has not received any proper help from the government except for a few elderly* people who were safely rescued a week ago.
A family from Bat Cave, North Carolina, claims the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had abandoned the town’s citizens after Hurricane Helene caused massive destruction.
Chelsea Atkins, a local resident, told The Post that FEMA officials refused to enter the town after seeing a “road closed” sign.
“FEMA called me and told me they wanted to inspect my house then called back to say they couldn’t drive around the ‘road closed’ sign,” Atkins told the outlet.
In an effort to help the FEMA officials, Atkins suggested that they could still drive the car around the closed signboard. But still they allegedly did not listen.
After heated arguments and angry exchange of words with the authorities, the entire town has decided to find basic needs for themselves on their own, the outlet reported.
Moreover, the town has allegedly not received any proper help from the government except for a few elderly* people who were safely rescued a week ago. However, some local apple orchard workers cleared roadblocks with assistance from the Transportation Department.
While explaining the situation, Atkins recalled taking shelter near a post office immediately after the hurricane struck Florida.
As floodwaters rose, many residents were forced to take refuge in empty homes, which became vital shelters in the aftermath of the storm.
Hurricane Helene’s destruction has resulted in more than 200 deaths and massive destruction to properties in several regions. After facing the aftermath of Helene, the region gears up for another potential hurricane Milton which is expected to make landfall this coming week.
Woman says there’s a dire need for people on foot in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina to help bring aid to victims and to also remove bodies of the deceased.
