North Carolina governor pushes FEMA to extend temporary shelter assistance as winter storm rolls in
North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein said he will continue to use every resource at his disposal to ensure that residents impacted by Hurricane Helene stay warm, as winter storms sweep across the state – potentially affecting power grids and other critical infrastructure impacted by the prior storm.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) temporary housing assistance will end Saturday for thousands of North Carolina residents, some of whom are facing frigid temperatures this weekend in the Appalachian Mountain region.
“At our request, FEMA has extended temporary shelter assistance through Tuesday in light of the winter storm impacting western North Carolina,” Stein’s office confirmed to FOX Business.
