In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The recent funding brings the total recovery assistance for North Carolina in August alone to over $124 million, following an earlier announcement of $96 million. These funds are designated to cover essential recovery activities, including the repair of roads, the restoration of critical infrastructure, the removal of debris, and other emergency measures implemented to safeguard lives and property in the aftermath of severe weather events.
FEMA is facilitating this financial support through its Public Assistance program, which is designed to reimburse state and local governments for their response and recovery operations. Cumulatively, North Carolina has received more than $655 million for crucial tasks such as road repairs, debris removal, and the mending of vital infrastructure since the disasters occurred. Specifically, since January 20, 2025, FEMA has approved over $350 million in Public Assistance reimbursements to bolster the state’s comprehensive recovery initiatives. Residents of North Carolina can expect these funds to directly contribute to the restoration of public services and the rebuilding of their communities.
