That's why we would ask that you please make sure that you're verifying this information with credible sources because when misinformation spreads it ultimately hurts the people who hurt the most because they're already unsure where to turn for help and we want to make sure they have all the resources they need to get back on their feet as soon as possible," said Mandy McMahon, Regional Communications Director of the American Red Cross of South Carolina.FEMA has created a rumor response page to combat misinformation, and so has the Red Cross.</div></body>
