Attention Burke County Residents: We have received reports of a fraudulent website claiming to offer FEMA assistance. The scam site, "disaster assistance.org," is not official and is asking for personal information with false promises of stimulus or Cash App payments. Please do not provide any information or log in to this site. We will share the correct website for FEMA assistance as soon as it becomes available. Only follow links provided by official county sources. Stay vigilant and protect your personal information. If you have shared information with the .org version of this site, please get in touch with your banks quickly. Also, please note that Burke County employees are NOT coming house to house to ask for donations. Do not provide cash or credit card information to these individuals. No authorizations allow someone to go to your home and request donations.

Please vet the website's legitimacy before providing any information.
