Thousands of federal government employees have been sent to help with relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Helene .

Only state governments and the federal government are large enough and have access to enough resources to deal with devastation of this magnitude.

By late afternoon , more than 130 people had been killed by flooding, fallen trees, and other disastrous results of the hurricane.

In 2019 , Donald Trump redirected $271 million , including $155 million from FEMA , to efforts on the Mexican border.

In 2020 , Trump took $44 billion from FEMA ’s disaster relief fund to pay for a $ 300 per month supplement to regular unemployment benefits.

Trump looted the FEMA funds because he refused to urge Congress to approve a bill to extend the additional $600 a month unemployment relief passed by the CARES Act .
