In the wake of Hurricane Helene, officials and lawmakers are struggling to combat a wave of misinformation and conspiracy theories circulating online. FEMA has deployed to assist in recovery efforts but faces criticism over its response amid rampant rumors, including allegations that disaster aid is being diverted to migrants and that supplies are being confiscated. State leaders, including Governor Lee, have urged residents to dismiss these conspiracies. The agency has launched a rumor response webpage and is actively fact-checking to clarify its role in disaster relief. Despite these efforts, claims of voter manipulation and sinister motives behind the hurricane recovery continue to proliferate, especially on platforms like TikTok. Local officials are taking a stand against these theories, emphasizing the need for community contributions rather than division. As Helene recovery efforts progress, misinformation remains a significant hurdle.
