Fact Check Hurricane Rumors on FEMA's Website

Fact Check Hurricane Rumors on FEMA's Website:

"With the approach of Irma and aftermath of Harvey, there’s started to be a ton of #fakenews circulating about everything from whether or not you can have pets in hotels, to if can catch the plague from flood waters.
To help combat the rumor train, FEMA has released a new “Rumor Control” portion of its site where it addresses some of the most common rumors going around and explains why they might be true or false. 
It plans to update the site as time goes on, so new rumors that pop up are likely to be addressed on the site as well.
Going forward, if you see something going around that sounds a little fishy, you can fact check it here.
As for some of the biggest rumors circulating out there. 

Here’s what FEMA has to say:

• Hotels and Motels participating in the Transitional Sheltering Assitance program are NOT required to accommodate pets. If you have a pet and are headed to one of these, you should call first to make sure your pet is ok.
• Floodwaters are NOT bringing the plague with them. The plague is spread by fleas, not water.
• Undocumented immigrants will NOT be reported to ICE or CBP if they seek shelter, and neither group is conducting immigration enforcement at hurricane relief sites.
• If you were in Texas, you did NOT have to file a flood insurance claim before September 1. The law that people site in this rumor, “House Bill 1774” does not affect flood insurance policies or claims.
