FEMA sets up “rumor control” operation to silence critics in wake of Hurricane Helene

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been besieged with complaints by whistleblowers who say the federal “emergency management” agency has sabotaged rescue and response efforts in North Carolina and Tennessee in the wake of the Hurricane Helene disaster.

Thousands are without power, water, food or other resources. But government agencies have been halting volunteer deliveries into the disaster areas and threatening to arrest volunteer rescuers.

The agencies have also banned private drones from the disaster regions.
