Original Note:
The $770 payments from FEMA are Serious Needs Assistance meant to cover essential items in the first few days of an emergency. SNA is not the only aid provided to wildfire victims; it's cash up front while FEMA determines the full amount on a case-by-case basis. https://www.fema.gov/node/rumor-serious-needs-assistance https://www.cbsnews.com/news/la-fires-burn-california-fema-false-rumors-misinformation/ https://www.fema.gov/fact-sheet/fema-individual-assistance-3
