Federal Government Response to North Carolina Flooding
Recent flooding in Swannanoa, North Carolina led to mandatory evacuations as floodwaters rapidly rose, causing extensive destruction and loss of life. Many residents reported receiving late emergency alerts, which left them stranded as they awaited help that never arrived. The federal government's response, particularly from FEMA, has faced significant criticism for its failure to provide timely warnings and immediate assistance in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
