( NewsNation) — North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims are struggling and feeling forgotten as winter approaches. Temperatures are dropping, and many hurricane survivors are living in tents or trailers without insulation. More than 100,000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Helene across Western North Carolina.

FEMA announced on Friday that the deadline for North Carolinians has been extended for those in need to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance after Hurricane Helene.

FEMA Rental Assistance helps provide people with a temporary place to live while they rebuild or repair their home.

The official, who has since been fired, said she was merely following protocol to avoid potentially hostile encounters.

Florida’s Attorney General Ashley Moody is seeking nominal and punitive damages claiming Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials conspired ‘to discriminate against Florida hurricane victims who support President-elect Donald Trump.
