In a productive call this week, Governor Josh Stein and Acting Administrator David Richardson discussed ongoing recovery efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene.

Governor Josh Stein thanked FEMA for its debris removal support, with more than 13 million cubic yards already cleared from homes, businesses and waterways to date.

Administrator Richardson reaffirmed the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s deep commitment to the people of North Carolina. We know there’s still more work ahead—and we’re ready for this hurricane season.

Following President Donald J. Trump's direction, we are focused on making Federal Emergency Management disaster recovery faster, less burdensome and free from unnecessary red tape. Recovery must work for survivors—not the system.
