The media doesn’t want the public to know what’s happening in the aftermath of the hurricanes.
But the ugly truth about the Biden-Harris regime’s botched response is coming out.
And a Green Beret dropped the hammer on FEMA for this unthinkable mistake.
FEMA has dropped the ball in its disaster response to the hurricane
Western North Carolina has been decimated in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
The region suffered from Biblical flooding after the storm dropped record rainfall on the region.
Flooding wiped out towns and cut others off from the outside world.
The Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina complicated efforts in getting disaster relief into the area and conducting search and rescue missions.
Storm-ravaged areas of the state suffered while the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was nowhere to be found.
Former UFC star Tim Kennedy – a former Army Green Beret – was one of the many who stepped up to help their fellow Americans in need while the FEMA was nowhere to be found.
His charity, Save Our Allies, was on the ground helping with relief efforts in western North Carolina.
Kennedy revealed that he told FEMA to let the military take charge of relief efforts after seeing the failures of the federal and state governments’ responses to Hurricane Helene.
“What was clearly absent was the state and federal response,” Kennedy said. “The men and women that showed up from FEMA, that is still woefully absent, there was no command and control.”
“We were begging and pleading for the state to hand over command to the United States military,” he continued. “I wanted real leaders to understand a warlike scenario, this is what it is like to take control. It was absolutely broken.”
FEMA’s response becomes its own disaster
Kennedy confirmed what other private citizens working on disaster relief have said about FEMA shutting down charities and private relief efforts.
“The men and women on the ground were doing the best they can. But FEMA has every priority wrong,” Kennedy explained. “They didn’t know what to do or where to do it or how to access these mountains. They were turning people away trying to deliver funds. They’re telling helicopters to land, the President’s coming in and creating a no-fly zone while we’re doing airborne evacuations.”
More than 100 people died in western North Carolina and hundreds are missing.
And FEMA was shutting down search and rescue missions for survivors.
“None of it made sense for FEMA to come and start impeding the efforts of organizations like ours trying to get in to deliver goods,” Kennedy said. “It is unconscionable.”
President Joe Biden waited nearly a week to activate the military to help with relief efforts and search and rescue missions.
Soldiers at all of the many military bases in North Carolina and throughout the south were ready to go but had to wait to get the order.
“Nobody does it better than the men and women in the American military,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy said that he was proud of the efforts of private citizens and groups like Samaritan’s Purse, which have actually helped on the ground in North Carolina.
“We’re doing health and welfare checks and we’re flying in to deliver stuff,” Kennedy stated. “We have made multiple runs into Charlotte to pick up more body bags because the number just keeps rising and rising and rising.”
“But once you get to that door, you don’t know if somebody will answer the door or hug you and just be so grateful, which happened time and time again, or you start smelling what clearly is going to be a recovery operation instead of a rescue operation,” he added.
Ordinary Americans became heroes by helping the victims of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina.
