FEMA abandons devastated NC town residents because they can’t drive around ‘road closed’ sign: ‘Nobody’s been bringing in supplies except civilians’

BAT CAVE, North Carolina — Residents of a tiny North Carolina town that was almost totally destroyed by Hurricane Helene fending for themselves after FEMA told them that a “road closed” sign is an insurmountable obstacle for the agency to navigate.

“FEMA called me and told me they wanted to inspect my house then called me back to say they couldn’t drive around the ‘road closed’ sign. They weren’t allowed,” local Chelsea Atkins, 38, told The Post.

“You can drive it by car for sure, it’s not that bad, you just have to drive around the ‘road closed sign’. I explained that to them. They said they couldn’t,” she said, recounting her maddening exchange with the embattled federal agency.

  1. Here is something that FEMA may not realize, there’s this thing called HELICOPTERS !!!
    They come in all different types and uses. I even heard that they can be used for search and rescue and light to heavy lift use. They can take you to parts where roads are un passible or now non existent. They can also carry supplies inside or even underneath them. Every military branch has them. Drop a pallet of R.E.M. and water and emergency supplies into these areas. Send them basic communication devises a.k.a. WALKIE TALKIES equipped with GPS locators if needed. ( Don’t need cell towers or electricity ).
    FIND THESES PEOPLE, HELP THESE PEOPLE
