The Biden administration is asking Congress for nearly 100 billion dollars in emergency disaster aid after the recent hurricanes. In a letter to the Speaker of the House, the president said “additional resources are critical” to continue to support communities hit hard by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, and other natural disasters. The largest share of the money, about 40 billion dollars, would go to the main disaster relief fund at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The fund helps with debris removal, repairing public infrastructure, and providing financial assistance to survivors.
