Evacuation orders have been in place for more than 2 million residents of the Gulf coast. “The extent of the damage has barely even begun to come into focus. “Fortunately, the coordinated state and local response led by Governor DeSantis and supported by federal agencies is ongoing. Yesterday our two colleagues from Florida led the state’s entire Congressional delegation in asking President Biden to issue a Major Disaster Declaration and unlock further aid. I understand the President agreed this morning. “The Senate will stand ready to provide further assistance if needed. The government funding legislation before us will make sure the Disaster Relief Fund is refilled. “And most immediately, Floridians remain at the forefront of the nation’s prayers.” ###	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T18:29:59Z
