Box 'em up and ship them back of course. Alternatively - there are probably more cost-effective locations than housing people in hotels in NY (with one report listing a $400/night hotel on Times Square).

Separate from fixing the actual problem though - People don't think of that as a FEMA issue when there's spin that FEMA doesn't have money for the folks in NC with no homes due to flooding. The optics are just too easy to spin.
