While your poll seek to gain opinion, it fails to consider very different circumstances between the tragedies. 

North Carolina’s most challenging issues are in very rural remote communities that are difficult to reach and for the most part are not wealthy at least in the sense of cash or income. 
The damage that took place there occurred months ago and has been exasperated by additional weather events, some occurring not long after the original storm. 

The damage includes not only NC, but also FL, TN, and GA. The Federal Emergency Response was mediocre at best. The State Response was poor, however private charities and NGO’s like Churches as well as private individuals and corporations made massive efforts to improve the situations of many victims. 

Unfortunately, FEMA became more of a hindrance than a help and their efforts to set up for long term recovery ended at creating a camp for their people to use to process claims that was never staffed. They also interfered in food and equipment deliveries by private sector entities, and failed miserably in getting out immediate assistance because of a ridiculous campaign concerning a $750 emergency distribution which was discovered to have been listed as a loan. 

Many people are still living in temporary housing such as tents. Some small homes were built by Amish builders and those were initially at least determined not satisfactory. They were sturdy, safe, and a huge improvement over any tent. Also the Blue Ridge Mountains are experiencing winter weather conditions including snow. There have been reports of recent deaths due to the weather. This is an ongoing disaster issue not likely to improve significantly within a year unless significant changes are implemented. 

The California Fires  are both recent and devastating, but have occurred in areas where many people have the ability to survive on their own accord given the availability of shelter. 

There is a significant political element surrounding the California tragedy that will not resolve itself quickly and perhaps not without the intervention of a new President. 

Californians need help desperately in the immediate term but their needs do not override the long term needs in the South Eastern United States. 

Both areas require assistance and that needs to be resolved immediately!
