FEMA under Biden CONFISCATING donations made to Hurricane Helene survivors

Social media is abuzz with reports that the Biden regime is working against the people of Appalachia when it comes to victims of Hurricane Helene receiving donations and supplies for recovery.

An individual named Alicia Schubert told a story on Facebook about how the aid that recently arrived from the Red Cross and FEMA was confiscated by the Biden regime, preventing it from being distributed to people in need.

“Starting with Davy Crockett High School, they are taking over all volunteer schools in Washington County and Greene County,” Schubert claimed in a post about the situation in eastern Tennessee.

“In order for anyone to get donations that were given, they must be approved. All monetary donations have been taken as well and placed into a TEMA account. If you are unaware of how that works, those items don’t all get used for this particular disaster.”

Schubert says that volunteers who arrived to the damaged areas are being turned away and told to leave. The only ones who are allowed to stay are those who first get trained by United Way, she says.

“Please, I know I already made a post on Red Cross and FEMA the other day, but please if you donate, donate to a church or give to individuals,” Schubert urges.

“They cannot take supplies from churches! Church members will make sure your donations get into the correct hands.”

White House issues “fact sheet” claiming it’s doing a really good job responding to Hurricane Helene

There is apparently so much public outrage about the Biden regime’s lack of response coupled with these strange stories of aid and aid workers being turned away that the White House produced a fact sheet that pats the regime on the back for its Hurricane Helene response efforts.

Biden just announced, the fact sheet states, that he is sending 1,000 active-duty troops to the affected areas to help mobilize “an intensive Federal response to the impacts of Hurricane Helene.”

“The Administration is prioritizing life-saving and life-sustaining response efforts in impacted communities, as well as ensuring people displaced from the storm have prompt access to Federal resources that will enable them to both purchase essential items and begin their road to recovery and rebuilding,” the fact sheet states.

The troops will deliver food, water and “other critical commodities” to communities that need it, the White House revealed. They will also provide added manpower and logistics capabilities to help FEMA and other partners “reach the hardest hit areas as quickly as possible.”

Biden is reportedly traveling to Appalachia as part of an “aerial tour,” meaning he will fly over the damaged region to see what became of the place following the storm. He apparently took time out of his busy beach vacation and sending cash and weapons to Ukraine schedule to pencil in a little bit of time for Hurricane Helene victims.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is also said to be on the ground in the affected areas to provide and delegate the following:

• U.S. Army and U.S. Navy helicopters, soldiers and sailors bringing critical capability to move personnel and supplies in areas where roads are damaged or destroyed

• U.S. Air Force aircraft, helicopters and airmen providing search-and-rescue capabilities

• U.S. Army soldiers and high-wheeled vehicles moving personnel and supplies over otherwise damaged or impassable roads and terrain

• The Army Corps of Engineers supporting response efforts with Temporary Power Teams and subject matter experts supporting the removal of debris, managing water and wastewater and inspecting bridges
