And they failed to appropriate the money to backfill the gap from #HurricaneMatthew and #HurricaneFlorence which will leave homeowners and contractors in limbo.

We need the state to kick in the resources to get finish up the work from #HurricaneMatthew and #HurricaneFlorence, and get #HurricaneHelene recovery going.

The ecosystem our state had to respond to #HurricaneFloyd in 1999 was dismantled by the #ncga in 2014. #HurricaneMatthew hit in 2016 and #HurricaneFlorence in 2018. The NC Office of Recovery and Resiliency was created that year after the storm hit.

The bill doesn't adequately address the #HurrricaneMatthew and #HurricaneFlorence recovery shortfall, and doesn't give the state the resources and authority to begin to run a CDBG-DR compliant program to respond to #HurricaneHelene in advance of a federal disaster allocation #ncpol

What is most significant after the Gov Ops hearing yesterday is that while the #ncga allocated $50m to NCORR for #HurricaneMatthew and #HurricaneFlorence homeowner recovery, they did not provide the totality of the funds requested.

Pryor Gibson would like $40m a month for the next three months to move the program and then come back in the new legislative session to allocate what remains given attrition and other unknowns.

Pryor Gibson responds, "why wouldn't we? If the opportunity to help those families was there, then why wouldn't we?"

Sen. Newton asks about the decision to keep applications open and who made the ultimate decision, and whether or not it was the Governor. "We need to figure out what went wrong before we start recovery for a storm 4-5x the size of these storms."

Laura Hogshead talking about the need to case manage from the beginning instead of a years long gap between FEMA support ending & recovery funds arriving. #HurricaneMatthew hit in 2016, #HurricaneFlorence hit in 2018, and the CDBG-DR money didn't arrive until 2020 in the middle of a pandemic

It's Senator Jarvis' line of questioning now... he's asking about how many withdrew from the program and why. Initially more than 10,000 applied... some were ineligible and others withdrew.

Rep. Stevens asks Laura Hogshead about how she had asked for applications to the program to be closed a year before the Governor was closed.
700 applications came in the interim.

Now Rep. Stevens is asking why, if the money was encumbered, how did we get to this point? She is interested in the accounting procedure that leads to not knowing the gap is there.

Not talked about enough are the mental health implications of climate change which are truly staggering (e.g., #HurricaneMichael #HurricaneFlorence #HurricaneMaria #HurricaneHarvey #ThomasFire #HurricaneIrma #TubbsFire) http://bit.ly/2PzAFLV via @WIRED

#GreenvilleNC sure dodged a bullet with #Florence. As per @NWS Tar River to crest at a little over 12 ft, not even minor flood stage & well below levels during #HurricaneFloyd (29.74 ft) and #HurricaneMatthew (24.46 ft).

1.7 million chickens drowned because of flooding from #HurricaneFlorence. Add it to the list of reasons CAFOs are horribly inhumane www.yahoo.com/news/1-7-million-chicken...
