Evacuees being told they should have called FEMA BEFORE leaving New Orleans, so, before disaster declared. Could it be that hotels are double dipping?

[Lúcia Guimarães @luciaguimaraes]

So, @fema what to make of Orange Beach Holiday Inn Express you listed as approved shelter that is denying FEMA-authorized payments? There many Ida New Orleans stranded there. @IHGRewards is ducking and sending them to a contractor that hangs up on evacuees, number 866-545-9865.

[Land of Opportunity @LandofOpp]

@IHGRewards not a good look when one of your hotels @holidayinnexpress in Orange Beach denies FEMA-authorized assistance to Hurricane Ida evacuees. #HurricaneIda

American Dream: First we colonize your land, then we strip you of autonomy while granting you second-class “citizenship”, then we leave you to die, and then we erase your death. https://t.co/WtEYsxcO0j

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The official death toll in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria was 62.
