From Thursday…
To everyone impacted by Hurricane Milton: I urge you stay inside and off the roads.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 10, 2024
Downed power lines, debris, and road washouts are creating dangerous conditions.
Help is on the way, but until it arrives, shelter in place until your local officials say it’s safe to go out.
Today, I convened @VP and senior officials for a briefing on the impacts of Hurricane Milton’s landfall.

The aftermath is devastating.
But my Administration was on the ground to prepare for this storm, and we will stay for as long as it takes to respond, recover, and rebuild. pic.twitter.com/Sv21MpwBNi

President Biden: Help is on the way. This is the United States of America we leave no one behind. And I want to give a special thanks to all those first responders–all those people, volunteers from other states who came to help–risking their lives in this process. So thank you, but please listen to your local officials.
Americans take care of each other. It’s what we do.

More than 80,000 people followed orders to shelter last night. And search and rescue teams were and continue to be at the ready for any calls for help.

It’s too early to know the full account of the damage though, but we know lifesaving measures did make a difference. More than 80,000 people followed orders to safety — to safely shelter last night. And we’ve had search and rescue teams at the ready for any calls for help this morning.

I know recovery and rebuilding periods can be long and difficult. And that long after the press and cameras move on, you have to pick up the pieces.
But I want you to know I will do everything in my power to help you put the pieces back together.
Let me close with this. I know recovery and rebuilding projects can take a long and difficult time.
