In light of the recent hurricanes, FEMA has come under intense scrutiny, especially from some in the GOP. Concerns center around staffing shortages and funding levels.

Republicans are fighting a war against misinformation to keep their constituents safe as they brace for Hurricane Milton to make landfall in Florida, including being willing to point the finger at members of their own party — and their presidential nominee.

The federal government provides a variety of assistance programs for people impacted by disasters like the two major hurricanes, Helene and Milton, that recently hit the Southeastern US.

Emergency assistance of $750 offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to survivors of Hurricane Helene is not a loan recipients have to pay back, the agency said in response to posts spreading the incorrect information.
