bighairymike: FEMA spokesperson Darrell Habisch said reports of personnel staying in rooms for $1,000 a night are not true. FEMA is paying hotels the government rate of $345, he said.

'FEMA personnel and responders are not here on vacation,' said Habisch. 'We're all here for the residents of Maui and the survivors of this terrible, this terrible incident.'

Umm.

FEMA spokesperson Darrell Habisch said reports of personnel staying in rooms for $1,000 a night are not true. FEMA is paying hotels the government rate of $345, he said.

'FEMA personnel and responders are not here on vacation,' said Habisch. 'We're all here for the residents of Maui and the survivors of this terrible, this terrible incident.'

'And if these larger resorts have the capacity, they're the ones who agreed to it to say, yeah, we want to help; they want to help as much as everybody else,' said Habisch.

'So, they're saying we will take a dramatically reduced government rate that you can get at any hotel on the island, and we'll agree to that.'

2,000 evacuees are also staying in hotels and other housing. I haven't seen anything about Days Inns with empty rooms but suspect that's false, as well.

That took 3 minutes of research. Try it next time.
