MIAMI — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced the federal government will be fully funding a month-long recovery effort in Puerto Rico — including power and water restoration costs — following the widespread destruction left behind by Hurricane Fiona.
Biden made the announcement in New York during a virtual briefing with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the government of the U.S. territory. He added that the 100% federally-funded recovery efforts will also cover the expenditures of search and rescue operations, food, shelter and debris removal.
“We are all in this together,” Biden said.
