In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which has claimed over 175 lives and caused extensive damage across the southeastern US, President Biden has ordered the deployment of 1,000 soldiers to assist with recovery efforts, particularly in North Carolina. As Biden and Vice President Harris make their way to the affected regions to assess the destruction, they are addressing ongoing issues such as water shortages and power outages. Biden has responded to political criticisms regarding relief efforts, asserting the administration's commitment to support affected communities and even considering calling Congress back into session for additional funding. Meanwhile, FEMA has announced disaster assistance for Georgia and is prepared to support survivors who are piecing their lives back together after the storm's devastation.
