Condemning the spreading of disinformation and malicious rumors that have led to threats against disaster response personnel.

HRES 1555 is a symbolic House resolution condemning the spread of false claims and malicious rumors about disaster response efforts, which have led to credible threats against FEMA personnel and disrupted aid for survivors. It specifically references incidents after Hurricanes Helene and Milton, including a pause in North Carolina door-to-door assistance due to safety threats and antisemitic targeting of officials. The resolution formally condemns those spreading disinformation for political gain and commits Congress to supporting FEMA’s efforts to combat misinformation and promote accurate recovery information. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but expresses congressional support for protecting disaster response workers and ensuring survivors receive timely aid.
