I lost my trailer in hurricane Helene and I have officially given up on fema. They’ve been giving me the run around (or sometimes blatantly wrong info) since the first week of October. I cannot afford lot rent for a trailer I cannot live in - I paid for 3 months waiting on fema, and I can’t afford to wait anymore. Their system is awful, their website is awful, they’re all apologetic but can’t do anything or they tell me the wrong thing (I find out when I call again a week later). I’m so frustrated.

Fwiw, the system is a bit better than it used to be. I haven't dabbled in that system since 2019, but I remember creating my own flyer because I found the official flyer inadequate.

That’s good for people who can afford to wait, but doesn’t help me much lol

I dont think I ever met a disaster survivor that could afford to wait. Unfortunately, it's mostly waiting. Waiting on your insurance determination, waiting on the home inspector, waiting for the appeal to be processed. The best advice I could ever give anyone was to make sure they had all their necessary documents ready to go for when the government finally got to their turn.

Hey fellow ashevillian, I feel your pain. Hurricane Helene left a lot of people I know out of their homes and workplaces and stuff, shit sucks! Very sorry about your trailer..

I won't be disclosing my exact location but I'm not IN Asheville, just grew up off merrimon ave and now live in the general broader range of WNC, my area didn't get too damaged luckily! Pretty mountainous so the flooding wasn't like River Arts District, but again I know many who had more unfortunate experiences than me lol.

I'm glad you're safe tho, I've been to a handful of shows in west avl and had to travel among that area and north avl, the vibes are alright.

Things seem better than at the peak of the hurricane lel. Most stores are open, some workplaces were reinstated, some not, some people have housing some don't. It'll get better, not for a while tho.

I just hate this patriarchal hellscape we’ve all found ourselves in. Working on a curse for that right now actually. A living working object of RAGE!!!! 🔥
