The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resumed visits in North Carolina to respond to Hurricane Helene’s aftermath after threats were made over the weekend against the agency, its administrator said on Tuesday.

FEMA told The Epoch Times that it had to make “operational adjustments” after law officials with a sheriff’s office said that a man was arrested for making threats against the agency. Another sheriff’s office said that FEMA suspended some aid in North Carolina due to the threats over the weekend.
