Watch again from the White House as Karine Jean-Pierre held her daily press briefing on Monday, 27 March.
It came after Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Mississippi over the weekend after multiple tornadoes hit the state on Friday.
At least 25 people were killed in Mississippi, with at least one other person killed in Alabama.
The US president is to host SBA Women's Business Summit at the White House later today, where he is expected to announce new resources to support women small business owners.
It is also expected that he will announce that SBA will expand the Women Business Centers network, bringing the total to 160 centres.
The centres are set up to assist female entrepreneurs through training, mentoring, business development, and financing opportunities.
It comes as the US marks Women's History Month.
