White House Contradicts U.S. Secretary of The Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on Use of Disaster Funds and $750 Payouts to Hurricane Helene Victims
Mayorkas’ Announcement Started It
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.
The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.
Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts.
“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

LET US PRAY
Glorious Father of All Creation in Heaven and Earth,
We repent of our sins, seek Your Face, and ask that you help all those who have suffered from Hurricane Helene - and those who are in the path of Hurricane Milton.
Guide them to safety, put your strongest angels around them, and shelter them from harm, we pray! Release your best rescuers to help those in need, and protect the women and children, the elders, and those needing special care. Help people eat and stay warm and dry, we pray!
All the simple things in life, Father God. Give them food, shelter, and water. We ask a special blessing on the rescuers and volunteers, that they are strengthened and their efforts are multiplied!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.
Sedition not treason.
Amen
