President Joe Biden requested the emergency disaster aid funds to address the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

The president said the aid was “urgently needed” as emergency programs face funding shortfalls amid the devastation after Hurricanes Helene and Milton and a string of other natural disasters.

President Joe Biden said he has met firsthand with those harmed by the storms and he heard what residents and businesses needed from the federal government.

Joe Biden wants nearly $100 billion in emergency funding to help respond to a series of disasters that have stretched government resources thin.

The largest chunk of funding — about $40 billion — would be for FEMA's disaster relief fund, so that it has enough money to last through the coming year. But there are requests for 16 agencies.
