Original Note:
This is misinformation. The $750 Serious Needs Assistance FEMA offers is NOT a loan, and does not need to be repaid. Numerous govt officials including Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) have asked people to stop spreading misinformation, because it hurts recovery efforts. https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/myth-vs-fact-disaster-assistance https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_ia-quick-reference_serious-needs.pdf https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/oct/06/tweets/fema-gives-750-to-help-hurricane-victims-with-supp/ https://www.tillis.senate.gov/2024/10/tillis-discusses-helene-recovery-efforts-on-face-the-nation
