The storm caused the New River to crest at 31 feet a day after it battered the region. In one area of Damascus, homes were lifted up and washed away.</p><p>A separate storm besieged southwest Virginia in February, knocking out power to 203,000 homes and closing 270 roads. Last month, a 1.5-mile stretch of U.S. Route 58, a major thoroughfare in the road-constrained mountainous region, reopened after getting washed out. </p><p>Now, at the beginning of a 2025 hurricane season forecast to be 'above average,' Virginia is in preparation mode for the season that typically picks up steam throughout summer and does its damage in the fall, like Helene did last year.</p><p>(. . .)</p><p>Against this backdrop of worsening disasters, the Trump administration is suggesting that states should shoulder significantly more of the burden of response and recovery. Layoffs and buyouts have cut a big swath through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and President Donald Trump has said he might want to eliminate FEMA entirely. His proposed budget for the fiscal year starting in October would cut $646 million from the agency.</p><p>In January, Trump ordered a newly established council to 'assess' FEMA. Later, the administration fired the acting administrator of FEMA a day after he told a congressional subcommittee that he didn’t think eliminating the agency was 'in the best interest of the American people.' His replacement reportedly said during a recent staff meeting that he didn’t know there was a hurricane season."</p><p><a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/11062025/virginia-vulnerable-to-fema-disaster-relief-cuts/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">insideclimatenews.org/news/110</span><span class="invisible">62025/virginia-vulnerable-to-fema-disaster-relief-cuts/</span></a></p>

Lyle Solla-Yates<p>One issue that I raised again last night that we have been grappling with as a City for over a century: we have no enforcement power over mold health problems. The state gives us no power to do so and no one else does, it is between the landlord and the tenant and there is an enormous power disparity there, harming public health. <a href="https://cville.online/tags/virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virginia</span></a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/PublicHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicHealth</span></a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/mold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mold</span></a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/Cville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cville</span></a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/AirQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AirQuality</span></a></p>
