You should see this, if you haven't already. It's basically the story behind the "Live Peace in Toronto" gig.

Claim: North Carolina State Police warned they will arrest FEMA employees who block Helene aid

Claim: Biden and Harris blocked rescue efforts to North Carolina so they could tour hurricane damage

Claim: Biden said he's not giving any more aid to Hurricane Helene victims

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

The president said the government had provided all the available resources available at the time, not that there would be no additional aid. He later said more aid would be forthcoming for those affected by the hurricane.

Claim: Americans affected by Hurricane Helene receive ‘only $750’ in aid

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

The $750 payments are the initial support provided under a new FEMA program, not the sole financial assistance available. Applications can be made for multiple additional forms of financial support for those affected by the hurricane.

Claim: FEMA loans money to disaster victims and takes their land if it’s not paid back

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

FEMA can’t seize property or land from people who apply for federal disaster assistance. The agency's aid does not typically need to be paid back.

Claim: Biden administration spent FEMA hurricane relief money on ‘illegals’

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

FEMA and a White House spokesperson both said the claim is false. It conflates the agency's disaster relief fund with a separate program that helps homeless people. The money provided by Congress for the disaster relief fund must be used for that purpose, and any other use is against the law.
