A social media post claimed that under the Biden-Harris administration, FEMA is directed to assist “white people last” to promote equity, allegedly supported by content on FEMA’s website.
Reasoning:
The post refers to FEMA’s 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which mentions “instilling equity” in emergency management. However, the document does not mention prioritizing or disadvantaging any racial group, including white people. FEMA has repeatedly denied this claim, emphasizing that aid is distributed based on need, regardless of race or background. Emergency management experts confirm that the goal is to ensure aid reaches the most vulnerable groups, addressing long-standing challenges in equal aid distribution.
Fact or Fiction?
Fiction. The claim is baseless and misrepresents FEMA’s strategic goals on equity. FEMA provides aid without discrimination.
