Former President Donald Trump is among a number of Republicans widely reported to be spreading lies about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene.

Now, as another hurricane barrels over Florida, U.S. Rep. Ed Case is condemning the misinformation about the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

“Not only is this misinformation fully inaccurate, but it is deliberately harming people and communities in most need of relief by leading them to believe incorrectly that they cannot access critical and available federal assistance,” said the Hawaii Democrat, who noted that Maui continues to be “critically impacted” by the Maui wildfires of August 2023.

Case is a member of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Homeland Security with authority FEMA’s budget.

“In fact, Congress just approved and the President just signed into law an additional $20 billion for FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, the federal government’s main channel of disaster relief, and all of those funds have been delivered to FEMA,” Case said in a press release Wednesday. “These funds will fully continue FEMA’s disaster assistance efforts for all of Maui, recent Hurricane Helene and pending Hurricane Milton and other federally declared disasters until they require further replenishment.”

Case advocates for an emergency supplemental disaster relief package to be passed as soon as Congress reconvenes after the elections.
