There has been some misinformation about FEMA’s relief efforts. While FEMA
does provide an initial payment to help with essential items like food, water,
and emergency supplies, this is just a part of the overall assistance
package1.
FEMA has already distributed over $45 million to Hurricane Helene survivors1,
and the total federal assistance has surpassed $137 million2. The aid includes
support for temporary housing, personal property repairs, medical expenses, and
more12.
If you or someone you know has been affected, it’s important to apply for
assistance through DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling the FEMA Helpline at

The claim that FEMA is only offering $750 to hurricane victims is misleading.
FEMA provides this amount as part of its Serious Needs Assistance program, which
is intended to cover immediate emergency expenses like food, water, baby
supplies, and transportation after a disaster. This $750 is a one-time payment
meant to address urgent needs while the agency processes applications for
additional, longer-term assistance.
FEMA has clarified that this payment is not the total aid available to
victims. Additional assistance can be provided for housing repairs, personal
property replacement, and other disaster-related costs. The $750 payment is not
a loan and does not need to be repaid, unless someone receives duplicate
benefits from insurance or other sources.
There has been considerable misinformation online, including false claims
that FEMA will seize property if people do not repay the aid, which FEMA has
explicitly denied..
