Know your post-disaster rights

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: from fema.gov, compiled by MADR

  1. Shelters should not ask you for ID in order to access them. You have the right to seek safety and refuge in a shelter, regardless of your immigration status. 
  2. Undocumented immigrants might not qualify for FEMA assistance but their children with citizenship do.
  3. ICE should NOT be operating during the hurricane as it a state of emergency.
