Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency arrived in Transylvania County Saturday and are coordinating to asses the overall damage throughout the area with the first official estimates expected to be released next week . . .

County staff continues to reach out to neighborhoods severely damaged by the natural disaster to remove debris and supply food, water and other needs throughout area . . .

The Transylvania County Health Department has an abundance of resources online regarding free food and water distributions and well as detailed directions regarding well contamination due to floods and other public safety issues.

Anchor Baptist Church in Penrose continues to coordinate volunteer efforts at its location on Old Hendersonville Highway.

“We want to thank all of the partners who have come to the table to help with this effort, both in the emergency response to the immediate needs and also in the long term that we are starting to move into,” [Transylvania County Manager Jaime] Laughter said.

RE-POSTING COMMENT
ANOTHER VERY FRUSTRATED CLERGY SHARED THIS COMMENT WITH ME TODAY:

“When asked to [Red Cross] to give 75 cots to people who lost things in the Birdsville flood they said they couldn’t help!

A private citizen gave the money to buy cots so people would have a bed to sleep on because many did not have flood insurance!

When he was in Vietnam The Red Cross sold the soldiers donuts and coffee on the bunker line on Christmas Day for 50 cents!

Get a grip RED CROSS! Shut the front door! Ask a service man about the Red Cross they will tell you about how the RED CROSS IS... THE PITS!

He posted a meme that read “DO NOT DONATE TO RED CROSS! LITERALLY TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW. DONATE TO SAMARITANS PURSE, CHURCHES OR FAMILIES DIRECTLY.”

He also mentioned: “FEMA IS TAKING THE PRIVATE DONATIONS FROM PRIVATE PEOPLE AND PRIVATE GROCERIES AND WATER, THEN TELLING PEOPLE THEY CAN DISTRIBUTE THESE FUNDS BETTER THEN PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS!

IF YOU HAVE THINGS YOU DONATE GIVE IT TO SAMARITAN’S PURSE OR CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATIONS SO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED SUPPLIES GET THEM AND KNOW THEY ARE COMING FROM PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND NOT F E M A OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

EVEN THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE PEOPLE ARE SEEING THROUGH MAYORKUS, BIDEN, AND KAMALA! THEY ARE LIERS AND EVIL AND ONLY WANT TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE WHO LOST EVERYTHING 750.00 WHEN THEY GAVE THE ILLEGALS 1,500.00. A MONTH FOR RENT GROCERIES GAS AND HOTELS TO LIVE IN THE BEST OF EVERYTHING WITH OUR TAX MONEY!

EVERY TOWN AND ALL 50 STATES ARE NOW OPEN BORDERS! THIS IS A TRAVESTY! VETERANS LIVING ON THE STREETS! RAPES, MURDERS, FENTANYL, DRUGS, & KILLINGS!

If I’ve ever seen a country that needs a change of government you guys [MAYORKUS, BIDEN, AND KAMALA] are it.

Trump can make America great again.”

I had my doubts about “Woke-Mart”, but thanks to this economy and my modest salary, I had to shop there. Now, I can be PROUD to shop there!

Emergency prep for families and communities used to be that you needed to be set up for 7 days without outside help.
Pepper communities take that further, 30 days to 6 months.
Total self sufficiency is more and more rare.

“FEMA responding to disaster declarations across six states

FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said the federal disaster agency is actively engaged across six states in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, meeting the requests of governors and state-level responders.

The needs vary across the six states with active disaster declarations, Criswell said, and she confirmed that conditions in the Appalachian regions across North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia presented particular concern.”

MULES TOO. MULE PACKER RANCH https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/mules-helping-bring-supplies-to-residents-in-north-carolina-in-wake-of-hurricane-helene/ar-AA1ryftJ

A mule packer ranch in North Carolina is lending some helping “hooves” and delivering much-needed supplies and first aide to communities in the mountains who have been impacted by the damage from Hurricane Helene.

“Busy morning as we loaded lots of equipment, supplies, and MULES, to leave for WNC! Please know that we appreciate EVERY kind word, gesture of support, and all that are partnering with us to HELP all that we can!” the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch wrote in a post on Facebook.

I’ve known people working at the highest level of the Red Cross. The assessment in your post is accurate. Donation money is used to pay senior level management very well and to pay for them to travel around the world living and working in luxury. Don’t give them a dime.

Red Cross has become a for-profit left-wing business.
Years ago, we discovered they would be allowed to have blood drives in military facilities, then they would charge the military a premium price for any blood it needed.
