Hurricane Helene has affected more than three states and millions of people. The primary response is coming from the local community and the state government. FEMA is there to provide assistance to the local communities affected under the control of the state and local governments.
When dealing with a disaster of this magnitude there will always be priorities put towards recovery efforts for the majority of people in the shortest time frame possible. There will always be problems with coordination and cohesion amongst the different military, government and private sector groups that are working to ensure recovery as quickly as possible.
However the only people that I see politicizing this are Republicans and conservatives who have an existing agenda and are looking for any excuse to blame the federal government regardless of how successful they actually might be.
FEMA may not be the best solution but they are not the problem either.
