Several states begin cleanup efforts after Hurricane Helene

The Biden Administration approved numerous federal emergency declarations to free up federal resources to help in the areas hard hit by the storm.

Between this and a possible strike at our ports, I hope people have some canned goods stocked up

This has been one of the worst storms in years. I think many of us were caught off guard. I live hundreds of miles away from the center track of the hurricane and it still unleashed havoc in my area.

So sad and terrifying for all the people there! Praying for these poor people! 🙏🙏🙏

where is the help from other countries for Americans

[MrThetruthhurts]

So when will US be receiving their aid from the UN or other allied nations?

[FishOnIsMyHandle]

The government needs to figure out a way to give these poor people an advanced warning, like we get with our tornado sirens. They need some time to get out of the way!

[MrThetruthhurts]

Looks like the federal government should have been building back better instead of passing all the money for Ukraine under the very pretense that our infrastructure needed fixing.

If Donald Trump was President now, he would have moved this hurricane away from the U.S. with a Sharpie and no one would have been hurt and there would have been no damage. Go MAGA!

Incredible. I've been in many hurricanes but this and Katrina are something else each in it's own way.

[annabodot]

Clean up? No, we are still rescuing people.

[joyceryan]

Our leaders are busy sending funds, our tax dollars, to other countries. We need help here

We had flooding and downed trees in Southern Ohio. So I hate to think about what people down south had to endure. Unfortunately there is still so much that needs to be done just to make it livable for the survivors.
America, let's stop the division of politics and help each other through this catastrophe

[TheMeximerican]

Let’s see if this administration helps American people the way they help illegals and Ukraine.

At first I laughed about the beer, but then I also remember that alcohol withdrawals can kill you. Living in the hills I'm sure there's plenty of alcoholism. Something to think about I

When u rebuild, get away from those dam rivers.

[paulroese]

i'm from the government and i am here to help! take no help from the FEDS. pull yourselves up by your bootstraps!

[Threedog]

I was stuck w/o power in July on the TX gulf coast for a week and was ok until the clouds cleared away and the heat and humidity came back. I feel sorry for those who have suffered much worse. Prayers from the TX gulf coast.

I live in Asheville. It’s insane. We don’t have water, power, or gas. Most of the bottled water was gone yesterday. Some neighborhoods are completely shut off. They say we could be without power for weeks, water for much longer. Can’t use cards and can’t use the atm, most people don’t carry that much cash anymore. Not that there’s anything left to buy. Absolutely nuts and it happened overnight.

[Makahanaloaislander]

Oh my God, how are they supposed to get disaster help if the house didn’t pass a new house disaster bill what’s gonna happen to all these poor people this is absolutely ridiculous😣😢
