Hurricane Ida: Biden approves disaster relief for New York, New Jersey
United States President Joe Biden has approved emergency declarations in the states of New York and New Jersey, paving way for the states to receive much-needed federal assistance.
The devastating storm in the North-Eastern U.S. in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida killed no fewer than 36 people, local authorities said on Thursday.
Biden pledged robust federal help for the Northeastern and Gulf states battered by Hurricane Ida and for Western states beset by wildfires, with the catastrophes serving as deadly reminders that the “climate crisis” has arrived.
“The past few days of Hurricane Ida and the wildfires in the West and the unprecedented flash floods in New York and New Jersey is yet another reminder that these extreme storms and the climate crises are here.
“We need to be much better prepared. We need to act,” President Biden said in a statement from the White House.
