"We're ready to surge all the response capacity, capability that we have to deal with whatever comes next," Biden said, "and a lot's going to be coming." The president said, offering “full resources and support of the federal government” that he's been in touch with the governors of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, and his team has been in touch with other state, local, and federal officials in the region.
“So I want to emphasize again, this is going to be a devastating, a devastating hurricane,” Biden said, “a life-threatening storm.” He urged those in Mississippi, Louisiana, and other areas to “take precautions,” listen, and “take it seriously.”
