As of this week, 77,000 people had applied for aid through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and $99 million in relief funds had already be distributed. FEMA was also providing temporary housing for nearly 2,000 people displaced by the storm.
Cooper also addressed growing concerns about misinformation surrounding the recovery efforts. He made a public appeal to stop the spread of false information.
In his remarks, Cooper also criticized Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, R-N.C., the Republican gubernatorial candidate, for allegedly contributing to disinformation campaigns related to the recovery.
Cooper’s comments came as safety threats against FEMA workers escalated.
Over the weekend, a man in Rutherford County was arrested for allegedly threatening to harm FEMA personnel. The suspect, who had several firearms, was released on bail and is scheduled to appear in court later this week.
Despite the challenges, Gov. Cooper remained optimistic about the recovery process in the coastal state.

THIS WEEK, GOVERNOR ROY COOPER SHAREDTHAT 81 PEOPLE REMAIN MISSING IN THE STATE..

HE MADE AN URGENT PLEA, CALLING FOR AN END TO THE FALSE INFORMATION THAT’S HINDERING AID.
Gov. Cooper
“PEOPLE ARE WORKING VERY HARD TO MAKE…WE DON’T WANT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS TO HAPPEN”

THE GOVERNOR DIDN’T HOLD BACK IN HIS COMMENTS ABOUT POLITICAL DYNAMICS AT PLAY EITHER.
COOPER SPECIFICALLY CRITICIZED LT. GOV. MARK ROBINSON, THE REPUBLICAN GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, FOR ALLEGEDLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS.
BEYOND THE MISINFORMATION, THERE HAVE BEEN TROUBLING DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING SAFETY THREATS AGAINST FEMA WORKERS.
THIS PAST WEEKEND, A MAN WAS ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY THREATENING TO HARM FEMAPERSONNEL.
ACCORDING TO AUTHORITIES, THE MAN ARMED WITH SEVERAL FIREARMS, MADE THREATS AGAINST WORKERS IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY. HE HAS SINCE BEEN RELEASED ON BAIL AND HEADS TO COURT LATER THIS WEEK.
