Sorry v_v;

(slight TW?)

A little earlier, I posted a screenshot from a news story that upset me, about FEMA’s hurricane relief efforts in NC. I took it down because this seems to be a developing story, & didn’t want to accidentally spread misinformation.

What we currently know about it is 1) there was a man arrested for making an armed threat against FEMA employees, & 2) due to violent threats driven by recently spread misinformation, FEMA had to pause their door-to-door help out of safety concerns.

All I’m hoping this is the last we hear of anything like this, & that these organizations that help in natural disasters like hurricanes (FEMA, NOAA, etc) will be allowed to continue the good they do for those who welcome it.
