President Joe Biden said Thursday that Hurricane Ian could be the “deadliest hurricane in Florida's history,” vowing the federal government will provide assistance "however long it takes” to ensure a full recovery. “The numbers are still unclear, but we're hearing early reports of what may be substantial loss of life,” Biden said after he was briefed on FEMA’s disaster response at the agency’s headquarters in Washington.
At least 13 people were reported dead in counties across the state, though Florida officials have not released an official statewide death total. Earlier Thursday, the Biden administration approved a major disaster declaration for Florida, making federal funding available to nine counties affected by the hurricane. Biden said the Coast Guard has deployed 16 rescue helicopters, six aircraft and 18 rescue boats and crews.
"However long it takes, we're going to be there. That's my commitment to you," Biden said. Biden said he offered Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis “the fullest federal support” in a phone conversation Thursday morning and told Florida mayors to “call me directly” if they need help.
