Post-Disaster Scams & Safeguards to Protect Yourself
Post-disaster scams are on the rise! Beware of these trending scams and learn how to protect you and your loved ones.

- Fake Job or Housing Offers
- AI-Enhanced Scams
Safeguards to Protect Yourself from Post-Disaster Scams:
- Verify Before You Donate - Research organizations on trusted platforms like Charity Navigator or GuideStar. Avoid making donations to individuals or unknown groups without verification.
- Double-Check Assistance Offers - Confirm any assistance offer directly with the official organization. Genuine relief programs won’t require upfront fees or personal financial details.
- Protect Your Personal Information - Never provide Social Security numbers, bank account information, or passwords over phone calls, emails, or texts without verifying the source.
- Watch for Red Flags - Be cautious of high-pressure tactics, requests for unusual payment methods (gift cards or wire transfers), or organizations with vague or no information.
- Use Secure Communication - Only share sensitive information over encrypted websites (URLs starting with "https") or verified phone numbers. Avoid unsecured public Wi-Fi for transactions.
- Stay Updated on Scams - Follow updates from trusted sources like FEMA, local government agencies, or consumer protection organizations about emerging scams.
- Apply for Assistance with FEMA Directly - Use FEMA’s official website (disasterassistance.gov) or their helpline to apply for aid. Avoid third-party services claiming to expedite applications.
- When it Comes to Repairs, There’s No Such Thing as “FEMA-Certified” - Be wary of anyone claiming to be “FEMA-certified.” Verify credentials through state licensing boards or local authorities.
- Disaster Relief Volunteers Won’t Ask for Money - Genuine volunteers from reputable organizations like the Red Cross will not request donations or payments during relief efforts.
- Never Pay Up Front for Any Repairs - Legitimate contractors may request partial payment, but upfront full payments are a red flag. Insist on a written contract detailing work and costs.
- Be Skeptical of Social Media Ads - Avoid clicking on suspicious ads for disaster aid, services, or fundraising. Validate claims directly with reputable organizations.
- Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery - This free service from USPS lets you digitally preview incoming mail. It helps detect missing mail or unauthorized changes to your address that may signal identity theft.
