Hurricane Helene Tweets

From Monday…

Remarks by President Biden on his Administration’s Continued Response Efforts to Hurricane Helene; the YouTube is 7 minutes 7 seconds long.

Let me close with this.  As president, I’ve seen firsthand the devastating toll that disasters like this take on families and communities.  I’ve been on the ground at many divat- — disasters areas since I’ve been president — (coughs) — excuse me — and I’ve heard dozens of stories from survivors about how it feels to be left with nothing, not even knowing where or when to get back on track. 

I am here to tell every single survivor in these impacted areas that we will be there with you as long as it takes. 

Remarks by President Biden on his Administration’s Continued Response Efforts to Hurricane Helene; the YouTube is 7 minutes 7 seconds long. 9/30/2024.

For the sake of yourselves — excuse me — (coughs) — and your families, I urge everyone — everyone returning to their communities and homes to listen to the local officials and follow all safety instructions.  Take this seriously.  Please be safe. 

Your nation has your back, and the Biden-Harris administration will be there until the job is done.

Show more =’s I quickly approved every Emergency Declaration request I received. FEMA and the Small Business Administration are here to help residents whose homes or businesses were destroyed or damaged. And our federal search and rescue teams have been working side-by-side with state and local partners in treacherous conditions to find those who are missing. They will not rest until everybody is accounted for.

The video clip is 30 seconds long.

I want them to know we are not leaving until the job is done. 

I also want you to know I’m committed to traveling to the impacted areas as soon as possible.  But I’ve been told that it’d be disruptive if I did it right now.  We will not do that at the risk of diverting or delaying any — any of the response assets needed to deal with this crisis.

My first responsibility is to get all the help needed to those impacted areas.  And I expect to be there — (coughs) — excuse me, I have a cold — I expect to be there later this week.

The video clip is 52 seconds long.

I and my team are in constant contact with the governors, mayors, and local leaders.  The head of FEMA, Deanne Griswell [Criswell], is on the ground now in Northern — in North Carolina.  She’s going to stay in Asheville and the Appalachia region for the foreseeable future.

[snip]

I’ve directed my team to provide every — every available resource as fast as possible to your communities to rescue, recover, and to begin rebuilding.

In addition to FEMA — it includes the Federal Communications Commission to help establish communications capability, the National Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Department of Defense are going to provide all the resources at its disposal to rescue and assist in clearing debris and delivering lifesaving supplies.

There is no official statement on his travel tomorrow. I’m sure it will be mentioned at today’s press briefing.

The video clip is 1 minute and 25 seconds long. It goes through the different resources and things the admin is doing to help with Hurricane Helene recovery.

Happy Birthday, President Carter Tweet

From Tuesday…

The video clip is 53 seconds long.

President Biden: Happy 100th Birthday! You’ve always been a moral force for our nation in the world. I recognized that as a young senator. That’s why I supported you so early. Your voice of courage, conviction, compassion, and most of all, a beloved friend to Jill, me, and our family. Your hopeful vision of our country, your commitment to a better world, and your unwavering belief in the power of human goodness continues to be a guiding light for all of us. You know, you’re one of the most influential statesmen in our history. Even after you left office, the moral clarity you showed throughout your career showed through again in your commitment through the Carter Center and the Habitat for Humanity. Put simply, Mr. President, I admire you so darn much. May God continue to bless you. Mr. President. You’ve been a good friend.

That’s a preview for the event to celebrate former President Jimmy Carters 100th Birthday…
