Vice President JD Vance on Monday traveled to Damascus, Virginia, which was hit hard by Hurricane Helene in September. It was his first official trip as vice president.

President Donald Trump named RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and three GOP members of Congress to review FEMA’s work in Helene.

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – Tuesday night is the deadline for Hurricane Helene victims to apply for FEMA assistance in South Carolina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been in the Upstate since Helene hit in September, providing assistance.

President Trump recently floated the idea of getting rid of FEMA. It would take an act of Congress to make that happen.

U.S. Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards will serve on the "Council to Assess the Federal Management Agency," which was established via executive order on Jan. 24.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (FOX Carolina) - Congressman Tim Moore was named to President Donald Trump’s FEMA review council on Friday, Jan. 24. The president signed an Executive Order to create a council to assist in improving FEMA after examining the areas affected by Helene.

Hurricane Helene in Georgia and South Carolina, it is important to act quickly, as the deadline for FEMA assistance is approaching.

You have nine days left to apply for FEMA Assistance for Helene. The deadline to apply is February 9th. President Donald Trump did tour hard hit areas in Western North Carolina. You do not need to wait for your insurance settlement to apply.

A White House memorandum ordered a halt to federal assistance and a review to align spending with Donald Trump’s priorities. Many legal experts say the order is unconstitutional.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's directive to freeze federal grants, preventing the order from taking effect.

Concerns arose that the freeze could affect California wildfire relief, particularly that from federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Trump has often criticized FEMA and has hinted at overhauling the agency.
