Briefly

FEMA has provided over $137 million in assistance to six southeastern states post-Hurricane Helene, along with 7,000 federal personnel, meals, and direct support.
In response to rampant misinformation regarding federal disaster funding for Hurricane Helene, FEMA has established a dedicated page to clarify its assistance processes and available resources.
Trump criticized the federal response, claiming victims received only $750 while the U.S. allocates substantial aid to foreign nations, although this number reflects just initial emergency aid.
The Serious Needs Assistance payment is designed to cover immediate necessities for hurricane victims, representing only a part of FEMA's comprehensive recovery efforts for the affected areas.
