FEMA Denies Dorian Individual Assistance In 4 NC Counties [View all]
FEMA Denies Dorian Individual Assistance In 4 NC Counties
By ASSOCIATED PRESS • OCT 9, 2019
Updated at 2:18 p.m.
The federal government has denied individual assistance for residents in four North Carolina counties hit hard by Hurricane Dorian just days after approving other funds to help local governments repair infrastructure, North Carolina's governor said Wednesday.
Gov. Roy Cooper had sent a letter to the White House late last month seeking federal aid for households in Carteret, Dare, Hyde, and New Hanover counties. The individual assistance would have included funds for uninsured expenses including temporary housing, lodging reimbursement and repairs.
Other federal funds, including assistance for repairing infrastructure and public facilities, were approved last week in a 14-county disaster declaration by President Donald Trump.
The individual assistance was denied in a letter from FEMA dated Tuesday and released the following day by Cooper's office.
