We do NOT take donations, money, or property for any reason. We do NOT ask for or accept cash donations or volunteers for disaster response. If you encounter someone claiming to represent FEMA asking for money, be careful as that is likely a scam. 👉 fema.gov/helene-rumors

Where is FEMA? We are on the ground, side-by-side with our local and federal partners in all states that have been affected by #Helene to assist survivors with their needs. People are our priority.

Over 1,150 @fema Urban Search and Rescue personnel are integrated with state & local teams in NC, SC, & VA to help with rescues after #Florence. The teams came from all over the country this week, traveling long distances with equipment & K-9 partners to arrive before the storm.

We have created a rumor control page for Hurricane #Florence that will be updated regularly. During disasters, it’s critical to avoid spreading false information. Always check with official sources before sharing. fema.gov/florence-rumors

Storm surge is deadly. Anyone in an evacuation zone in the Carolinas and Virginia must leave NOW if they haven't yet. #Florence

Category of the storm is only related to wind, it does not tell you about all of the impacts with a #hurricane like #florence. Our impacts have not changed with storm surge and catastrophic flooding. Do not let your guard down. weather.gov/media/mhx/Late…

There's a lot of misinformation about our assistance programs & we encourage #Helene survivors to continue applying for support from us. Serious Needs Assistance is one of many benefits we offer - designed to help people with emergency items while their application is processed.

Rain from #Florence these next few days will cause flooding in many parts of the Carolinas. Expect flash flooding at any time and stay off the roads. Do NOT walk, swim or drive through floodwaters!

It may be hard to believe...but there's MUCH more rain to come. Parts of the Carolinas will see more than 15 inches of additional rain in the next couple of days. #Florence

It’s extremely important to keep sheltering in a safe place and to stay aware as #Michael continues to move inland!

As #Michael moves farther inland into Georgia and areas less familiar with extreme winds, trees become a clear and present danger. Minimize your risk in single story homes by staying in interior rooms AWAY FROM LARGE TREES and overhanging branches. #flwx #alwx #gawx #scwx

Flooding from Hurricane #Michael will affect several states. Finish preparations ASAP and get ready to shelter in a safe location. Make sure you’re getting weather alerts for your area and stay off the roads once rain and winds start. ready.gov/alerts

Heavy rainfall from #Michael could produce life-threatening flash flooding from the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend region into portions of Georgia, the Carolinas, and southeast Virginia. See the latest @NWSWPC forecast for more details.

⚠️If you're told to evacuate for Hurricane #Michael, don't delay. Leave as soon as possible. Listen to @FLSERT and local officials for the latest on evacuation orders. Check your route before leaving, figure out a few places you can go & make sure to take your pets.
