President Donald Trump announced the deployment of the US Army Corps of Engineers to North Carolina to assist with the recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. He criticized the previous administration for a delayed response and pledged swift action to address the damage to infrastructure and communities.
President Donald Trump announced that he would be deploying the United States Army Corps of Engineers to North Carolina to address the damage caused by Hurricane Helene . Trump emphasized the urgent need for repairs to riverbanks and roads in the state, criticizing the Biden administration for what he perceived as a delayed response. He stated that his administration would provide the necessary resources and support to the affected communities.
\Trump expressed his frustration that it took so long for the previous administration to act, stating, 'I don't know what it is, I don't know what took so long for the other administration.' He pledged to expedite the recovery process, saying, 'We're going to get it done in rapid time.' The president directed his team, including Susie Wiles, to mobilize the Army Corps of Engineers and initiate immediate action.\The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is a federal agency responsible for a wide range of engineering projects, including disaster response and infrastructure maintenance. They operate under the National Response Framework (NRF) and the Stafford Act, working in conjunction with FEMA to support state and local governments during major disasters. The USACE has extensive experience responding to emergencies, deploying personnel and resources across the United States and its territories to provide aid and recovery assistance. In addition to its federal role, the USACE also has its own authority to directly address state and local needs related to flooding or coastal emergencies. \Trump further emphasized his administration's commitment to assisting North Carolina, stating, 'We're going to get you the resources you need and the support that you deserve. And, we'll be at your side through every step of the rebuilding and no American is going to be left behind.' Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to western North Carolina, including widespread flooding, landslides, and destruction of roads, homes, and communities. Other states in the region, such as Georgia, Florida, eastern Tennessee, and southwestern Virginia, also experienced severe flooding and landslides. \While FEMA announced in an October press release that it had provided over $45 million in relief funds to address Hurricane Helene's impact, residents in North Carolina criticized the response from the Biden administration. Some residents expressed frustration over the perceived lack of timely assistance and the absence of visible FEMA presence, while others felt that the federal government's response was too slow
