Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday warned that hurricane season isn't over and urged Congress to fund the agency's disaster relief for future storms.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday said that while FEMA has enough resources to address the 'immediate' needs of victims of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, hurricane season isn’t over and called on Congress to fund the agency’s disaster relief for future storms. Mayorkas addressed recent claims about FEMA’s resources during an appearance on CBS’ 'Face the Nation' as seven weeks of hurricane season remain.
We have to ensure that individuals can recover from these extreme disasters, such as rebuilding their homes, repairing damage and the like,' Mayorkas said Sunday. 'And so we need Congress to act swiftly to fund what should be a nonpartisan, apolitical phenomenon, and that is providing relief to all individuals with respect to the impacts of these extreme weather events.' Mayorkas also addressed criticism about the agency’s response in the aftermath of the storms.
Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday evening. At least 10 people were killed and hundreds of thousands of residents remain without power. Fox News Digital’s Adam Shaw and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
