HuffPost
“It’s not about red states and blue states; it’s about having people’s backs,” Biden said of spending $1 billion to prepare for hurricanes and wildfires.
As potentially devastating hurricane and wildfire seasons loom, President Joe Biden’s administration announced Monday that it is setting aside $1 billion for communities to prepare for extreme weather events. The announcement comes shortly after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed there is a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season, which typically runs from June through November. “I’m here today to make it clear that I want nothing less than readiness for all these challenges,” Biden said from Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters Monday.More Related News
