PARK (voice-over): "This morning growing safety fears for government workers in western North Carolina, supporting ongoing recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene. According to 'The Washington Post,' an urgent message was sent to numerous federal agencies on Saturday, warning FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County, North Carolina to stand down and evacuate the county immediately, adding that National Guard troops had come across trucks of armed militia, saying they were out hunting FEMA. NBC News has not seen the email cited by 'The Post,' and it's unclear whether the threat mentioned was seen as credible.”
