This week on <em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>, we take a deep dive into what North Carolina state representatives and FEMA officials have said and done amid these rumors, and the potential dangers of misinformation in undermining relief efforts and creating unnecessary fear and confusion among affected communities.<\/p>\n<p><b>HURRICANE CHARITIES: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please consider making a donation to one or more of the following organizations that are aiding in the relief efforts for those affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/caring4others.org\/hurricane-helene-gma\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caring for Others<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/give.feedingamerica.org\/a\/hurricane-helene?ms=gma&amp;utm_source=earned&amp;utm_medium=partner&amp;utm_campaign=gma\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding America<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belovedasheville.com\/donate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BeLoved Asheville<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/host.nxt.blackbaud.com\/donor-form\/?svcid=tcs&amp;formId=8eef46f3-0e40-40c7-8b5d-7db47d431b11&amp;envid=p-ETmjzTDW1k-0nFss1ZCjmw&amp;zone=usa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Global Empowerment Mission<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gocajunnavy.org\/donate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ground Force Humanitarian Aid<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mercychefs.com\/donation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercy Chefs<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovingfood.org\/get-involved\/#make-a-financial-contribution\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loving Food<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/donate\/cm\/abc.html\/?subcode=abc-pub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red Cross<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwillnwnc.org\/donation-of-goods\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goodwill Industries<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><em><b>Have you had a UFO\/UAP sighting?<\/b><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Please consider<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/uapsightings.org\/\"><strong>reporting your sighting<\/strong><\/a> to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The story doesn&#8217;t end here&#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/micahhanks.com\/x\">become an X Subscriber<\/a>\u00a0and get access to even more weekly content and monthly specials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Want to advertise\/sponsor\u00a0<em>The Micah Hanks Program<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We have partnered with the <b>AdvertiseCast <\/b>to handle our advertising\/sponsorship requests.
