The devastation of Hurricane Helene and the anticipation of Hurricane Milton have led to concern that the Federal Emergency Management Agency may face a funding shortage. The White House acknowledged that Congress may need to approve additional money soon. Milton is forecast to make landfall on Wednesday evening in Florida, which is still reeling from Helene. At least 227 people have been killed across six states after Helene came ashore on September 26. Amid concerns about FEMA, one viral post shared a video conference hosted by the disaster agency that attempted to sow division regarding its approach to the LGBTQ+ community.
