Before a briefing from senior White House and administration officials in the Roosevelt Room on Thursday, Biden declared,” I’m announcing that the federal government will cover 100 % of the cost for 180 days.” ” This is going to pay for things like dust and risk treatment, temporary homes, first responders pay, and all required measures to protect life and property”.
Biden also pledged national state resources to California, including 400 firefighters, more than 30 fire helicopters and planes, and eight C-130s, expressing hope President-elect Donald Trump did not snub the democratic state.
” To the people who have been impacted by this crisis, you’re living through a problem, I know. I promise you, we’re going to help you get through this”, he said.
After Mayor Karen Bass dismissed problems during an earlier press conference, Biden likewise made a comment on the lack of water flowing from Los Angeles city and state fire extinguishers.
He claimed that the resources should not turn off power because they fear that further fires would result from the lines being blown down. When they did that, pumping the ocean was no longer possible due to that. That’s what caused the lack of waters in these sprinklers”.
California-born vice president Kamala Harris attended the lecture and criticized insurance firms for” sadly” canceling protection for some people who have been affected by flames, which may “place an additional burden on their ability to recover.”
To help pay up California for its fire charges, the Federal Emergency Management Agency agreed to sign a Fire Management Assistance Grant earlier this year.
