Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has officially launched a web portal to help raise funds for groups of people in need of tornado relief across his state after the Biden administration’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) outright denied all of the requests for aid in the wake of the disaster.
The donation portal went live on Tuesday as part of the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) website.
“We cannot continue waiting on the federal government to provide relief to these Floridians,” claimed DeSantis in a release.
“After meeting with survivors last week, it’s clear they still need our help. We’ve helped community leaders launch this portal to expedite assistance for impacted residents and we’re going to ensure they get help,” he stated.
Kevin Guthrie, the Director of the FDEM, also went on to highlight the importance of getting help to those who are in the most need.
“These donations are going to directly provide assistance to our disaster survivors who need it most,” stated Gutherie in a release.
“The Division is working around the clock to connect disaster survivors with this vital resource, which will help them recover faster and begin to rebuild after experiencing extensive devastation,” he stated.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
