The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is warning the public to be wary of misinformation surrounding Hurricane Helene and the federal government’s response, launching a “rumor response” page.
On the newly-formed page, the agency asks the public to find and share information from trusted sources, and discourage others from sharing information from unverified sources. It also seeks to dispel rumors as the search for storm victims continues across multiple states and authorities contend with blocked roads and power outages.
Among the misinformation FEMA highlights is a claim that the agency does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance.
The agency said it does.
Another claim says that FEMA was asking for cash donations and turning away volunteers. The agency said the claim was false.

“Among the misinformation FEMA highlights is a claim that the agency does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance.”
“The agency said it does.” Mayorka will say whatever seems suitable for the moment apparently.
It was working just fine until those meddlesome kids showed up.
That camera was just a rumor.! And that hurricane he was talking about was just a rumor. In fact, that Mayorkas guy doesn't even really exist, he's just a rumor..!
