Original Note:
Aid to victims of Hurricane Helene comes from FEMA's Disaster Relief Funds, which are allocated by Congress.

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
