"
Helene recovery is more political online than on the ground." Good reminder.
Direct quote from Republican Georgia Governor Brian Kemp: "[President Biden] just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, you know, ‘We got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process.’ He offered that if there’s other things we need, just to call him directly, which — I appreciate that. But we’ve had FEMA embedded with us since a day or two before the storm hit in our state operations center in Atlanta; we’ve got a great relationship with them.” (But it's CNN, so a direct quote probably isn't good enough.)
