Thank you for providing Truth and Original Sources...so much for Spin. MSM as a branch of the Dem govt is grossly negligent and culpable in the death, demise and continued catastrophe in NC and other devastated places because the Media should be used to tell the TRUTH objectively and pressure our Govt to do the right thing.

If you went strictly by the FEMA press releases, one might be forgiven for thinking they were doing an excellent job.
And the FEMA press releases are a masterclass in how bureaucrats measure success.
"The agency is actively working alongside state, local and tribal partners to assess damage and support those affected by Helene. Nearly 7,000 personnel from across the federal workforce are deployed, including FEMA staff. To date, FEMA has shipped over 15.6 million meals, more than 13.9 million liters of water, 157 generators and more than 505,000 tarps to the region. "
Note the stats and the language: they've SHIPPED millions of meals, millions of liters of water, hundreds of generators.
They don't say they've fed those meals to people. They don't say they've provided clean water for drinking and bathing to people. They don't say they've delivered generators to communities, families, and businesses.
All the supplies in the world don't amount to a damn thing until they get where they are needed. A liter of water sitting in a warehouse waiting to be distributed is a liter of water that might as well not exist for a thirsty resident of Chimney Rock, North Carolina.
And that's what we're seeing. I would not be surprised if we found that in regional airports in North Carolina and Georgia there were hangars full of these supplies, waiting to be delivered--and no orders coming down on where to deliver them.
And that gap is the difference between FEMA success and FEMA failure.
What's appalling is that the White House Press Secretary is so removed from reality that she is unable to grasp this.
