President Donald Trump on Monday announced the deployment of the United States Army Corps of Engineers to North Carolina to assist with repairing riverbanks and roads damaged by Hurricane Helene.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During his visit to the state on Friday, Trump expressed frustration with the Biden administration\u2019s delayed response to the devastation in western North Carolina, saying he did not know \u201cwhat took so long\u201d and pledging that his administration would provide \u201cthe resources\u201d and support needed to help the affected communities rebuild.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a lot of things in mind, and we\u2019re getting the Army Corps of Engineers all set,\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou need your riverbanks fixed. You need a lot of roads fixed. And, we\u2019re going to get it done in rapid time, and I\u2019ve asked Susie Wiles and all of my people to start calling up.<\/p>\n

\u201cGet the Corps ready, and they\u2019re going to get ready to go. I don\u2019t know what it is. I don\u2019t know what took so long for the other administration,\u201d Trump added, per Breitbart News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has roughly \u201c37,000 dedicated Civilians and Soldiers delivering engineering services to customers in more than 130 countries worldwide,\u201d works \u201cdiligently to strengthen\u201d the security of the U.S. \u201cby building and maintaining America\u2019s infrastructure and providing military facilities where our servicemembers train, work and live,\u201d according to the organization\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The site adds: \u201cUnder the National Response Framework (NRF) and authorities of the Stafford Act; USACE works under the direction of FEMA as a member of the federal team to support State and Local governments in responding to major disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The website notes further:<\/p>\n

Each year, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) deploys hundreds of its trained personnel and resources across the United States and its territories to respond to emergencies and aid in disaster response recovery. Under the National Response Framework (NRF) and authorities of the Stafford Act; USACE works under the direction of FEMA as a member of the federal team to support State and Local governments in responding to major disasters. USACE also has its own authority to directly respond to State and Local needs related to flooding or coastal emergencies under Public Law 84-99.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump made sure to tell local residents during his visit that he wasn\u2019t in office \u201cfor the first four months or three months, whatever it may be\u201d and added that his administration could \u201conly start\u201d as of a few days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to get you the resources you need and the support that you deserve. And, we\u2019ll be at your side through every step of the rebuilding and no American is going to be left behind,\u201d Trump said, according to Breitbart.<\/p>\n

Several areas in western North Carolina, including the Village of Chimney Rock, Asheville, and Swannanoa, experienced catastrophic flooding, severe landslides, and extensive damage to roads, homes, and communities due to Hurricane Helene. Other regions in Georgia, Florida, eastern Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia also suffered from severe flooding and landslides due to Helene.<\/p>\n

Although FEMA announced in an October press release that it had provided \u201cmore than $45 million\u201d in Hurricane Helene relief efforts, many North Carolina residents criticized former President Joe Biden and his administration for their handling of the disaster response.<\/p>\n

Several residents\u00a0revealed<\/a> that they had been left to fend for themselves and had seen no signs of FEMA, while other residents said the Biden administration \u201ctook too long\u201d to respond. Also, others said that FEMA workers under Biden-Harris were directed<\/a> by at least one supervisor to skip houses and property that contained signage or other items indicating their support for Trump, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
