Business owners from across the area had a rude awak- ening at a forum in downtown Whiteville Thursday when they found out that there’s little help coming, at least when it comes to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Even successful small businesses have a narrow mar- gin of profit, and few, if any, have the means to set aside a quantity of cash for emergencies such as Hurricane Matthew and its The point resultant flood- ing. Although FEMA performed well with we believe small true emergency assistance after business shouldn’t Matthew, but its response to small have to rely on businesses in peril after disas- government sup- ters, which has very little, needs port for success rethinking. – that violates the very spirit of the American dream – a helping hand in disasters like that we just saw is reasonable.
