CORRECTION: Due to a reporting error, an earlier version of this article included incorrect information about the funding FEMA has provided to Hurricane Florence survivors. More than $1 billion in federal funding has been provided to Hurrican Florence survivors in the state, including $556 million in FEMA flood insurance payments. For losses not covered by insurance, FEMA has provided $126 million in grants to 34,000 households for rental assistance, home repairs and other needs. Additionally, the article incorrectly stated that members of more than 800 households who are still receiving FEMA assistance for a hotel room or temporary travel trailer have been approved for assistance. They are not waiting for FEMA to process their applications. The story has been updated with the correct information. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for this error.
