This is concerning and I am working with @fema to find out how this has affected the many Floridians impacted by Hurricane Irma.

I expect FEMA to notify any Floridian that has been affected and at the minimum provide them with a free credit monitoring service. https://t.co/epdJjUsqOD
This is disgraceful & officials must be held accountable. Acting FEMA Administrator Gaynor must testify before Congress immediately. Millions of disaster survivors in California and across the country deserve answers about how their personal information was mishandled. https://t.co/QIQJfU6be2

“This is unacceptable and FEMA must demonstrate it will do better in the future," said Dem Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. "Safeguarding the information of Americans already suffering from a disaster should be of the utmost importance.” https://t.co/LMtquYtmd2

STORY: Source says number could be closer to 2.5m affected disaster survivors -- and that 1.8 million people had both their banking information and addresses revealed. FEMA says no evidence it was misused. OIG identity theft risk is high https://t.co/BOlPQ3QUX5 https://t.co/LMtquYtmd2

Interesting fact:

The people most affected by this will be those living in the wilds of Northern California.
Many of them moved there SPECIFICALLY for off-the-grid privacy.
(And they tend to be the most conservative-leaning residents of the state)https://t.co/8sxTJJaMv0
They survived wildfires in California and hurricanes in Puerto Rico and the South. Now the personal information of 2.5 million disaster victims has been hacked. Thanks, FEMA! https://t.co/PirviMgMTf

Here's a holy-shit news dump: OIG report, which FEMA just acknowledged in press release, says 2.3M disaster victims from Calif wildfire, plus Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, had personal info mishandled. Stunning. Here's OIG's report: https://t.co/vF2STV0sD2

OIG report:... https://t.co/Juqjr75fHt
It appears that the DHS Office of the Inspector General wanted to wait for Mueller to create a black hole in the news cycle before dumping news that FEMA unlawfully shared 2.3 million disaster survivors' personal information (findings in .pdf) https://t.co/fEg6tw6c9k pic.twitter.com/DfZgFPJkNf
