President Joe Biden has approved Florida’s emergency disaster declaration as Hurricane Milton approaches the Sunshine State, expected to make landfall Wednesday or Thursday.
In the wake of the lackluster response from the Biden-Harris administration to Hurricane Helene, Biden “declared that an emergency exists in the State of Florida and ordered Federal assistance to supplement State, tribal, and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Hurricane Milton beginning on October 5, 2024, and continuing.”
The release reads:
The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe.

Ya think?? lol
Great, but FEMA has no money left, right?
Did Brain-Dead even bother to declare a disaster for Helene.
Biden can declare anything he wants. But looking at the screw up mess FEMA has made of Helene - why would anyone expect anything different with Milton.
The little Dem gnomes in DC have been up late trying to find a way to blame this on Trump.
FEMA? We don’t need no stinkin’ FEMA here...
Exactly what they DON'T need ("coordinating" relief efforts). FEMA has no $$ anyway, they say, so what do they bring to the table?
No Biden, No FEMA.
Agree. More than maybe any other state (and despite the people that think we’re the reason their home insurance is so high), Floridians take care of themselves.
Not the welfare crowd, but the rest of us.
Trump?! Do the dweebs think he caused the storm or something? Their guy and gal are the ones messing up on the daily.
Desantis is on TV now going over all the preps. great guv.
Uh-huh.
Maybe he could get around to declaring emergency in NC.
Hold on there. I thought there was no money left in FEMA funds. How is this going to be paid for?
Biden is hoping Desantis will shine again and make FEMA look good.
So more swamp people will be heading down to the swamps for a quality vaca?
more 750 dollar aid
That’s mighty white of him. As if he has anything to say about it.
“Floridians take care of themselves.”
I may be “mis-remembering”, but I think I recall about 10 years ago when Nashville was hit with major flooding. They basically told TPTB in DC, “Don’t come. We can handle it ourselves.” And they did.
Now Nashville has been the victim of an influx of libs, so I don’t know how that would play out today.
TN people are great when it comes to autonomy and self sufficiency. That’s the reason DC hates us.
