The article reports that North Carolina Governor Josh Stein plans to request additional federal aid<\/a> one year after Hurricane Helene caused extensive damage in western North Carolina.Speaking at a press conference, Stein announced his intention to travel to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress for $13.5 billion in further storm relief funding. He emphasized that only about 9% of the estimated $60 billion in damages has been paid to the state so far, noting delays and funding blocks under the previous Trump administration despite congressional appropriations. Stein’s funding request includes $8 billion for the Department of Housing and Urban progress’s disaster recovery grants, $2 billion from FEMA in disaster loans, and another $2 billion from the Department of Transportation for infrastructure repair. He highlighted that historically, the federal government covers<\/a> the majority of disaster recovery costs and stressed the need for continued federal support<\/a> to fully rebuild western North Carolina. the state legislature has already committed around $1.7 billion toward relief efforts, but Stein underscored that the damage far exceeds available state resources.
