"Well, thank you for having me. Let me just correct something first. It wasn't a week before FEMA got on the ground. After devastating storms, it takes a moment to reach everybody where they are. And what communities do is they don't wait on government. They start to work."
"The Biden-Harris administration has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to victims of the hurricane. FEMA sets up a hotline, and people start to apply for immediate cash funds, and then you see the government fund."
"There were assets prepositioned before Helene. And that happens in every storm in coordination with FEMA and others. Our goal isn’t to play tit for tat during a humanitarian crisis but ensure people get what they need."
