The Biden-Harris administration announced on Wednesday that $750 in federal aid will be distributed to residents in states devastated by Hurricane Helene. The relief, provided through FEMA, is aimed at those in need of immediate assistance, and Vice President Kamala Harris urged residents to apply as soon as possible. Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, made the announcement during a visit to Augusta, Georgia, one of the cities hit hardest by the storm.
During her visit, Harris praised Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for his leadership and collaboration with federal agencies to support residents affected by the hurricane, which caused widespread destruction by tearing through homes, damaging roads, and downing power lines, leaving many without means of communication.
Kamala Harris: “The federal relief and assistance we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 dollars for folks who need immediate needs being met.”
