The federal government has allocated close to $2 billion in aid to six states impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton, according to a statement from the White House. The funding aims to support individuals and communities severely affected by the consecutive storms that struck in late September and early October.
Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm, made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast on September 26, causing widespread devastation and significant rainfall across multiple states. Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton swept through Florida, further exacerbating the damage.
