Original Note:
Governors must request disaster aid before it can be granted. Other states had already requested and received funds for the same storm before Lee finally requested federal assistance on 9/27. Biden granted the aid within one day of the request. https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/2024/10/09/tennessee-lagged-behind-states-requesting-federal-aid-hurricane-helene-flooding/75511820007/
