FEMA chief in Florida to coordinate building collapse federal support efforts
Fox News
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is in south Florida on Sunday, coordinating with officials as the official death toll in the Miami-area condominium collapse rose to at least nine people, with some 152 building occupants remaining unaccounted.
And she added that FEMA’s seeking "to identify any federal support that's needed" as first responders "work around the clock on response and recovery efforts." DeSantis on Thursday declared a state of emergency in Miami-Dade County, shortly after the building collapse of the Champlain Towers South. The governor’s move cleared the way for President Biden on Friday morning to approve emergency aid from FEMA, which is sending technical experts and staff to support the recovery effort. FEMA added that three urban search and rescue teams are also poised to help.More Related News
