Summary
North Carolina just landed a massive $197 million FEMA boost to recover from Hurricane Helene and past disasters, funding 30+ projects statewide—from debris cleanup to road repairs and future-resilience measures. Over $162 million goes to state emergency management for debris removal, $7 million to DOT for infrastructure, and $18 million for smart mitigation like property buyouts in Smithfield and Raleigh. FEMA vows to stay the course, helping North Carolina not just rebuild—but build back stronger, smarter, and more resilient for what’s next.
