Community Abandonment

The residents of Waynesville, North Carolina, are grappling with significant distress due to the lack of aid following a devastating hurricane. Approximately 100 individuals have resorted to living in makeshift campers on private land after federal assistance, notably from FEMA, has proven inadequate. Many in the community feel they have been neglected by the government, with claims that FEMA's support is either non-existent or slow to materialize, leading local leaders and residents alike to express desperation and frustration. The need for direct assistance and resources has led some community members to take matters into their own hands, advocating for immediate relief efforts.
