President Joe Biden has approved the federal disaster declaration for the state of Georgia as it continues to recover from the impact of Hurricane Helene. This decision comes after Biden previously approved major disaster declarations for Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina to assist with the destruction caused by the hurricane.
As part of the ongoing efforts to support the affected regions, Biden will be visiting Raleigh, North Carolina, while Vice President Harris will be visiting Augusta, Georgia, ahead of a trip to North Carolina later this week. The visits have been strategically planned to avoid interference with rescue operations, as highlighted by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
