The focus was on coordinating state and federal efforts to provide immediate assistance to those impacted by the hurricane's destruction.

"We are fully committed to doing everything in our power to ensure that Congress passes disaster relief as quickly as possible so Western North Carolina can begin the long-term recovery process," stated Senators Tillis and Budd. They emphasized the collaboration between North Carolina's Congressional delegation and state leaders in pushing for legislation aimed at reducing bureaucratic hurdles and delivering critical aid swiftly.

The unified stance underscores a concerted effort across different levels of government to support Western North Carolina during this challenging time.
