The Federal Emergency Management Agency budgeted 20-times more cash
for its response to Covid last month than it spent on Hurricane Helene
aid.
Official documents reveal that Fema set aside $4.9 billion in
coronavirus aid in September, although the pandemic was officially
declared over more than 12 months ago.
The figure was in contrast to the $210 million initially allocated to
support victims of the tropical storm that ripped through North
Carolina late last month.
The death toll for Hurricane Helene currently stands at more than 220,
although some bodies are still being found among the rubble.
It comes as the agency faces the dual challenge of a funding crunch
and staff shortages as Hurricane Milton barrels towards Florida.
