Blog By Tommy Truthful Multiple FEMA Camps Being Built Around NC Flood Devastation
The U.S. government’s response to disasters continues to fall short, leaving citizens to fend for themselves. The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina showed that when the federal government fails, it can have devastating effects on communities. Now, with the suspicious fires in California and Hawaii and the ongoing crisis after Hurricane Helene, it seems little has changed.
Independent reports reveal that FEMA has not been actively assisting victims of Hurricane Helene, despite the significant need for support. Instead, FEMA has been busy setting up camps—large enough to house 700 personnel—to accommodate their workers and federal responders. The agency claims these facilities are meant to provide lodging for responders, keeping them out of local hotels to ensure that accommodation remains available for displaced residents. However, many people are left wondering why FEMA is pouring resources into these camps rather than directly helping the affected communities.
When questioned about FEMA’s activities, a spokesperson stated that these camps would be used for housing responders who are aiding relief efforts. The camps are equipped with tornado shelters, even though no tornadoes are anticipated. This raises questions about the extent of the preparations and the true intentions behind these facilities.
Furthermore, FEMA is constructing additional camps in North Carolina, including sites in Flat Rock and Wilkes County. These locations were selected based on the severe damage sustained in the region, according to FEMA. However, some people are speculating that the camps could be part of a land grab scheme, with the federal government seeking to take control of mineral-rich areas under the guise of disaster relief.
With an estimated $50 million or more being spent on these camps, many are questioning the priorities of the federal government. What if those funds had been used to provide generators, water wells, or other essential resources for the people in need? The contrast is stark: while the federal government spends millions on setting up accommodations for its workers, citizens are stepping up to provide real help—donating food, clothing, and funds, and organizing grassroots relief efforts.
The true heroes of this disaster are the volunteers and local emergency management teams who have gone above and beyond to support their neighbors. Many people felt a calling to help and have contributed in ways that are making a significant impact, showing that, even when the government falls short, the spirit of community and goodwill can prevail.
You can still contribute to relief efforts. There are ongoing projects, such as the Western North Carolina Water Well Fund on GoFundMe, to help provide clean water to those affected by Hurricane Helene. The Truth About Cancer Helene Relief Fundraiser is also actively supporting recovery efforts on the ground.
While the federal response has been disappointing, the people continue to prove that compassion and resilience can overcome bureaucracy. Together, we can help those in need and ensure that the real support reaches the people who need it most.

When the U.S. federal government failed the people of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, Americans were not upset enough. And now it seems we’ve become accustomed to it. The suspicious fires in California and Hawaii continue to go ignored. Thanks to the help of their neighbors, the victims of Hurricane Helene are being looked after. And they can still use our help. According to independent reports, FEMA hasn’t been seen helping anyone. And we now know that this is because they have been busy building camps in the area. Camps big enough to house 700 FEMA employees. But we were just wondering what it is y’all are doing because FEMA said they were pulling out because of militia and stuff, which that was debunked.
So we just want to get the truth out because people are kind of like all over the place. Understood. Yes, definitely understandable. We are definitely not pulling out. We are actually building this for our responders, for FEMA responders, other federal agencies. We have several of these sites around the area to help volunteer agencies as well that need lodging that are coming in to help the survivors in the local area. So that’s what this is being stood up for. So this will be for the folks that have lost everything, they need a place to stay kind of thing? This is for the responders that are helping those folks.
We are building these to stay out of the local hotels so that the responders have the ability to stay in the local hotels. Now is there money being provided to the survivors to accommodate hotel? Yes, there is. That is not my area. That’s our individual assistance and whole other side of FEMA. Our focus is really on this side to try to do the back end support for the operation. So how many responders will you house here and how long do you think your response will be? We are building this to come up to 700 people.
Right now, how long is it going to be? We are unsure. They are going to be there long enough to require tornado shelters. Are you all expecting tornadoes here? We are not expecting tornadoes. Part of the package that goes out is to ensure that all the responders are safe. And there is nowhere for people to take cover here. So it’s just part of the operation that goes out. And they are building at least two more just like it. Are you building another camp like this somewhere in North Carolina? We do have another one. We actually have one in Flat Rock.
And then we are putting another one up in Wilkes County. So we are trying to ensure that there is coverage in the areas that were most heavily damaged. Why they are building these camps is yet to be discovered. Many are suggesting it’s all part of a land grab for minerals. But whatever it is, it does not look like help. FEMA showed up and spent a lot of taxpayer dollars. I wish I had a number for you. I am just going to guess 50 million plus to provide a space for their workers to exist to help out sometime in the future.
And that’s what our federal government does. It spends money. As somebody said in the comments, they are a self-licking ice cream cone. They exist for themselves in and of themselves. What could 50 million dollars do for this area? How many generators could you purchase with 50 million dollars to help out those who need it? And that’s what I am talking about. You know, everything that has come into this area has been the good will of the citizens of this nation. The volunteers, the people that are donating clothes and food and money. So many things to help out.
And that’s because you, the citizens are doing that, not the federal government. The federal government may be run by parasites and thieves, but the people have come together to offer help. Many people who showed up said I had to do something. God put it in my heart. I had to come do something. And they wanted to help. And they’ve been able to put them to work. And they’ve organized it like a way I’ve never seen anything before in my life. I can’t really speak to the FEMA part very much, but I do know that the local emergency managements have done an astounding job.
And we can still help. There are wells to be dug to provide people with water at GoFundMe Western North Carolina Water Well Fund. And the truth about cancer have a Helene relief fundraiser connected to people that are there and responding to people’s needs. Reporting for Infowars, this is Greg Reese. [tr:trw].
