2024-10-05 21:48:59 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The $750 FEMA gives to disaster victims is for immediate relief, usually dispersed within hours of the request, not the total amount they will get. Spreading misinformation, especially from a public official, can cause people to not request emergency funds and hamper recovery. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/10/05/interested-parties-memo-fighting-hurricane-helene-falsehoods-with-facts/
