Original Note:
Congress controls FEMA's disaster fund not Harris or Biden. By 10/10 FEMA had spent $9bn of the $20bn Congress put in FEMA’s disaster fund Oct 1 for the fiscal year to Sept 30 2025. Biden has sought additional FEMA funding since last Oct. but Congress has ignored the request https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/10/fema-disaster-budget-hurricane-helene-melton-00183219 https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/10/04/letter-to-congress-on-disaster-needs/https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/11/politics/biden-congress-hurricane-funding/index.html
