Original Note:
Aid to victims of Hurricane Helene comes from FEMA's Disaster Relief Funds, which are allocated by Congress. Kamala Harris is working to ensure "federal resources hit the ground as quickly as possible." She is NOT WITHHOLDING AID. https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/disaster-relief-fund-monthly-reports#:~:text=The%20Disaster%20Relief%20Fund%20(DRF)%20is,Disaster%20Relief%20and%20Emergency%20Assistance%20Act Page 284: https://www.congress.gov/117/plaws/publ328/PLAW-117publ328.pdf Page 43: https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20240318/Division%20C%20Homeland.pdf https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/10/02/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-on-response-and-recovery-efforts-following-hurricane-helene-augusta-ga/#:~:text=The%20president%20and%20I%20have%20been%20paying%20close%20attention%20from%20the%20beginning%20to%20what%20we%20need%20to%20do%20to%20make%20sure%20the%20federal%20resources%20hit%20the%20ground%20as%20quickly%20as%20possible%2C%20and%20that%20includes%20what%20was%20necessary%20to%20make%20sure%20that%20we%20provided%20direct%20federal%20assistance https://youtu.be/nUuEJSPhCkw?si=LGBLYV4U9mnk8JXD&t=181 https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/10/02/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-on-response-and-recovery-efforts-following-hurricane-helene-augusta-ga/#:~:text=And%20the%20federal,of%20this%20community https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response
