FEMA will stop matching 100% of Helene recovery money in North Carolina
Hurricane Helene is estimated to have caused $9.8 billion in damage to western NC's transportation infrastructure. (Photo by) FEMA has denied North Carolina's request to continue matching 100% of the state's spending on Hurricane Helene recovery. In a letter to Gov. Josh Stein on Friday, acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton wrote that the agency had determined the full cost share was 'not warranted.' 'The need in western North Carolina remains immense — people need debris removed, homes rebuilt, and roads restored,' Stein said in a statement. 'I am extremely disappointed and urge the President to reconsider FEMA's bad decision, even for 90 days. Six months later, the people of western North Carolina are working hard to get back on their feet; they need FEMA to help them get the job done.' FEMA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The agency's decision means that North Carolina will lose a critical share of federal assistance in what's expected to be a years-long rebuild process. After Helene struck in late September, the Biden administration gave the green light for FEMA to reimburse North Carolina on 100% of disaster relief assistance — particularly with debris removal and emergency protective services. The cost-share allowed state officials to plow ahead on time-sensitive needs more quickly. In December, FEMA also set the federal cost-share for all other categories of assistance at 90%. But the 100% period for debris cleanup and other services was set to end after six months. Local and state officials have requested repeatedly that it be extended — preferably another six months — in order to speed up recovery from the deadliest hurricane in state history. But the agency, now under the authority of a president who has floated the idea of dismantling it altogether, will no longer shoulder full costs for that work. U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards, the Republican congressman who represents western North Carolina, told the Asheville Citizen-Times that Stein's extension request had been 'unprecedented.' 'Instead, I'm focusing on other ways I can make a tangible difference in helping the citizens of western North Carolina recover more quickly,' he said in a statement to the newspaper. 'This includes continuing to assist survivors with FEMA casework and working with the administration to find additional avenues to alleviate the financial stress our communities and the state of North Carolina are facing.' The state can appeal FEMA's ruling within 30 days. FEMA denial letter

Wildfires prompt US agriculture secretary Rollins to visit North Carolina on Friday
Photo courtesy of the South Carolina Forestry Commission Following multiple wildfires in the Carolinas over the weekend, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins plans to visit the affected areas on Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Monday. Crews fought several forest fires in North Carolina, the largest of which was at Uwharrie National Forest at around 400 acres, according to Newsweek. Located primarily in Montgomery County in the south central portion of the state, Uwharrie is the smallest of North Carolina's four national forests. The U.S. Forest Service responded to wildfires in the state's other three national forests as well: Pisgah in the Appalachian Mountains, Croatan on the Atlantic Coast, and Nantahala in southwestern North Carolina. Officials say significant debris from Hurricane Helene has made much of western North Carolina vulnerable to more wildfires this spring, according to the Asheville Citizen-Times. Specific causes of each fire have yet to be announced. 'The brave men and women of the U.S. Forest Service began responding immediately to the fires in the Carolinas,' Rollins said in a statement. 'We will ensure they have the resources, personnel, and support they need to swiftly put out the fires. They are working closely with state and local partners, and we are grateful for all the firefighters working on the frontlines.' Specific details of the trip have yet to be released. It's contingent on conditions permitting. The Trump administration recently terminated the careers of thousands of U.S. Forest Service employees as part of the federal worker layoffs last month to cut costs. As a result, fewer people and less resources are available to help prevent and fight wildfires, according to the Associated Press. It's a move that comes after deadly fires in the Los Angeles area at the start of the year. President Donald Trump's first trip after returning to the White House was to storm-damaged areas in western North Carolina as well as torched parts of California, NC Newsline previously reported. Some of the approximately 3,400 workers who received termination notices have had their firings rescinded, according to the Asheville Citizen-Times. It's unclear exactly how many. The U.S. Forest Service maintains more than 1 million acres of forest land in the Tar Heel State. North Carolina Emergency Management asked residents to avoid starting outdoor fires in a Sunday post on social media. 'We aren't out of the woods yet NC. Do you[r] part. Do not burn today,' the post read. 'We will see lighter winds today, but it is still very dry, with breezy conditions, and low relative humidity, which is what fire loves. High fire danger still exists across the state.' In neighboring South Carolina, Republican Gov. Henry McMaster declared a state of emergency on Sunday as the fires scorched thousands of acres and forced people to evacuate. There were 175 wildfires impacting 4,200 acres across South Carolina as of Sunday, according to the McMaster's office. 'With rain expected midweek, conditions may improve. However, the U.S. Forest Service is fully prepared for an active fire season in the south and will continue to work closely with our partners to respond effectively,' the agency said in a statement.
