(Worthy News) – U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday approved major disaster declarations for the parts of New York and New Jersey hardest hit last week by the remnants of Hurricane Ida, freeing up financial assistance from the national government.
The aid will be available for businesses and individuals in six New Jersey counties and five in New York, where record rainfall swelled rivers, overwhelmed drainage and sewage systems, and flooded many roadways, homes and stores.
Biden plans to visit the region on Tuesday and assess the damage firsthand. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
