Trump Administration Denies Georgia Hurricane Relief Extension
FEMA denied Georgia’s request for extended federal disaster relief funding for Hurricane Helene cleanup, citing the requested increase as unwarranted. The denial covers debris removal and emergency protective measures, impacting local government efforts. Governor Kemp’s office indicated that state funds will compensate for the lack of federal assistance. However, FEMA’s decision can be appealed within 30 days, with Senators Ossoff and Warnock already urging a reversal.
