Biden Pledges Support for Recovery from Hurricane Helene
President Joe Biden has shared an update on efforts to restore power and clear debris in communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
According to Biden, “We’re making progress restoring power and removing debris in communities impacted by Hurricane Helene – but there’s still more work to do.”
Currently, 8,500 federal personnel and 1,500 troops are working tirelessly on the ground to support recovery efforts.
Over $507 million in assistance has been provided to survivors, and the president assured that more resources will be sent as needed to speed up recovery.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is leading the response, coordinating with state and local governments to ensure survivors receive shelter, food, and medical aid.
Alongside FEMA, the National Guard troops are assisting in clearing roads and rebuilding vital infrastructure, especially in the hardest-hit areas.
Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation across the affected regions, leaving thousands without power and displacing many families.
The administration’s focus remains on restoring normalcy to these communities and providing continuous aid.
The federal government is also working with local utilities to expedite the restoration of power, which is essential for bringing life back to normal.
