“Hurricane Helene Claims 56 Lives, Biden Describes Impact as ‘Overwhelming’: Business Standard”
Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc across the East Coast, claiming the lives of 56 individuals and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. President Joe Biden has described the impact of the hurricane as “overwhelming,” as communities struggle to recover from the devastation.
Helene made landfall last week, bringing powerful winds and heavy rainfall that caused widespread flooding and power outages. The storm surge has caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure, forcing many residents to evacuate their homes.
Emergency response teams have been working around the clock to provide aid and support to those affected by the hurricane. The National Guard has been deployed to assist with search and rescue efforts, while shelters have been set up to provide temporary housing for displaced individuals.
President Biden has pledged federal assistance to help with the recovery efforts, stating that the government will do everything in its power to help those impacted by the storm. He has also called for increased funding for disaster preparedness and response efforts to prevent future tragedies.
As communities come together to rebuild and recover, the true extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Helene is becoming clearer. The road to recovery will be long and difficult, but with the support of the government and the resilience of the American people, those affected by the storm will eventually be able to rebuild their lives.
