FEMA Debunks Hurricane Irma Rumors on New Webpage. Accurate information can be the difference between life and death during a hurricane. So FEMA has launched a new webpage in an effort to debunk rumors that people might be hearing about Hurricane Irma as the historic storm barrels down on the US mainland. Natural disasters breed a lot of misinformation. Sometimes it’s fake photos of sharks on the highway. Other times it’s rumors about what parts of a city or county are being evacuated.

There have been lots of great Hurricane Irma debunkers already published by news outlets like the Weather Channel, but FEMA is another great source for no- bullshit info. Watch Fish Tank Putlocker#. The agency has so far addressed scams involving clean- up contractors, questions about whether hotels are required to allow people to bring pets (they’re not), and news about fuel shortages (those are sadly true). For example, here’s the entry on rumors about disaster clean- up and inspections that will be conducted by FEMA after the storm passes: There may be reports that disaster survivors should not remove flood- damaged sheetrock, flooring, carpet, etc.

FEMA or insurance adjustors. This is FALSE. (September 5)Cleaning up and making temporary repairs to your storm- damaged property will not disqualify you from federal disaster assistance. Property owners are encouraged to document storm damage to their properties – either with photographs or video – and to then begin cleaning up and making whatever temporary repairs are necessary to make their homes safe and habitable again.

Put your health and safety first, take pictures of your damaged home, make repairs to prevent further damage to your property, and keep your receipts to show the inspector. FEMA also has a mobile app that you can download for information on shelters available in the path of Irma. You can also text SHELTER and your zip code to 4. FEMA (4. 33. 62) for shelter information. Stay safe out there, friends. And do your best to stay informed. Hurricane Irma is on track to be the most destructive storm to ever hit Florida.

It was just reported that Irma damaged or completely destroyed a full 7. St. Maarten. And sadly, Hurricane Jose is right on her heels.[FEMA].

Best Buy Apologizes For Selling $4. Packs of Water While CNBC Asks If Disaster Capitalism Is So Bad. Did you see those packs of water being sold at a Best Buy store in Houston for as much as $4.

The photos went viral as an example of predatory price- gouging in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. But the company is now apologizing and saying it was all a big misunderstanding. Meanwhile, CNBC doesn’t think that disaster capitalism is such a big deal.

There have been over 5. According to the Texas Attorney General, the price gouging has included hotel prices quadrupling, fuel for as much as $1. But Best Buy was recently singled out on social media when a tweet showed that some packs were being sold at a Houston location for $2. Watch The Littlest Angel Putlocker.

People were disgusted, to say the least.“This was a big mistake on the part of a few employees at one store on Friday,” a Best Buy spokesperson told CNBC.“As a company we are focused on helping, not hurting affected people. We’re sorry and it won’t happen again,” the statement continued.“Not as an excuse but as an explanation, we don’t typically sell cases of water. The mistake was made when employees priced a case of water using the single- bottle price for each bottle in the case,” the spokesperson from Best Buy concluded. The penalty for price gouging in Texas is a fine of up to $2.

And if the victim is over the age of 6. So while Best Buy contends that it was all an honest mistake, they have a legal responsibility not to price gouge during a disaster. That’s the law in Texas. But amazingly, a host from CNBC acknowledged that while it might be immoral to overcharge during a crisis, he still wondered if the law should be enforced. CNBC had the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, on their network this week and asked why businesses shouldn’t be allowed to charge whatever they want, even after a natural disaster.“Attorney General, clearly all of us would be agreed that it’s a moral issue to try and oversell necessities at a time of crisis. Is it and should it be a legal issue as well?” the CNBC host asked.

Surely it’s up to the seller to sell their product at the price they wish, even if morally clearly at this time they shouldn’t be overcharging for necessities.”The Attorney General shot back that the law is in place for a reason and that he was going to enforce it.“Well, clearly the Texas legislature thought differently, because they were the ones who put the penalties in place. It’s up to $2. 0,0. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said.“So, of course, our legislature, signed by a governor many years ago, clearly didn’t want during natural disasters the necessities to be jacked up in price,” Paxton continued. So that was a decision that they made and we’re enforcing it.”It’s incredible that anyone could ask whether selling $1. Nothing, not even the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, should apparently get in the way of making a buck.[CNBC]Correction: This post originally misstated one of the prices for the packs of water.
