President Biden has approved a disaster declaration for Florida in response to Hurricane Milton, facilitating federal funding to support recovery for affected communities.
The declaration offers grants for temporary housing and home repairs, loans for uninsured property losses, and other vital assistance to residents and businesses in need.
Biden emphasized his commitment, stating during a hurricane briefing, "I want everyone in the impacted areas to know we're going to do everything we can to help you pick back up the pieces."
He warned that while immediate resources are available, Congress needs to pass additional funding for long-term recovery, indicating that total economic losses could exceed $200 billion.
