The temperatures in the mountains of western North Carolina are falling—soon to be well below freezing—and people who have lost everything are still living in tents because FEMA will not allow any of the available small trailers to be used because of floodplain rules.
This from therightscoop.com.
Former Marine Matt McSwain, who has been flying supplies via helicopter into Asheville and other locations, explains what is going on with this on Fox News and how he is trying to get the problem rectified so these tiny homes and trailers can be used to get these people out of the cold.
WATCH:
FEMA is actively blocking volunteers from delivering RVs, tiny homes, and other housing units to people living in tents in #WNC because they are "in a flood zone".
The Fox News host can't even believe it.
The truth is so much more horrifying than any conspiracy theory. pic.twitter.com/cjkuUwJ0Si

In short, McSwain says FEMA has rules about putting temporary living structures on land that has been designated a floodplain. However, McSwain says the entire area is a floodplain now and these rules must be lifted so they can get these people out of the cold.
He said one woman living in a tent had to fight off a bear because she had food in her tent.
So, it’s not just about the cold, it’s about public safety as well.
McSwain said he contacted U.S. Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and he managed to get something on Biden’s desk about this.
Hopefully, Sen. Budd will be able to make a difference—the 20 degree and below temperatures are less than a week away.
