FEMA Administrator on misinformation about federal response to Helene: 'This kind of rhetoric is not helpful'

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell said misinformation regarding Hurricane Helene and the federal government’s response is "not helpful to people."

In an interview with ABC's "This Week," host George Stephanopoulos asked Criswell about the misinformation surrounding the federal response to Hurricane Helene, including former President Trump’s misleading claims about the FEMA relief aid available to residents.

"It's frankly ridiculous and just plain false," she said.
