A van flows in floodwaters in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene on Sept. 28 in Asheville, North Carolina. States affected by Hurricane Helene are warning residents to watch for the risks of scams in the aftermath of the storm, including price gouging. Price gouging happens when there is an excessive increase in prices charged for goods and services, and it often happens during emergencies or disasters. Normal price fluctuations are not price gouging, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a recent announcement. The terms of established price gouging protections vary from state to state.

Steven Suranovic, an economics professor at George Washington University who has also published research on price gouging, sees it differently.
