Hurricane recovery operations in North Carolina have faced significant disruptions due to reported threats against FEMA workers. Several incidents led to a pause in aid efforts as safety concerns prompted FEMA to make operational adjustments. Authorities have arrested an armed man accused of threatening FEMA staff, while claims of ‘armed militias’ hunting for FEMA workers have been linked to misinformation spread via social media. The situation has resulted in the relocation of some recovery officials and a temporary halt to operations. Local law enforcement has reassured the community by stating there is no evidence of an organized armed militia. As the threats continue to impact relief efforts, FEMA is assessing the safety of their workers and adjusting their response accordingly.
