Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently spoke out against misinformation circulating about disaster relief funding in the wake of Hurricane Helene and the impending Hurricane Milton. Mayorkas assured the public in an interview that FEMA has ample resources to support ongoing recovery efforts and prepare for the upcoming hurricane.
Approximately 900 FEMA personnel and members of the Army Corps of Engineers have been strategically stationed in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton's expected landfall on Wednesday night. Mayorkas emphasized FEMA's ability to be flexible and respond to multiple events simultaneously, highlighting the agency's readiness to handle complex situations.
