🇺🇸 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has warned that FEMA lacks sufficient funding to last through the current hurricane season, even though it can meet immediate needs. The agency is stretched thin from responding to Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread damage in several southeastern states. Mayorkas indicated that additional funding may be necessary, echoing concerns from President Biden and members of Congress, who may seek to pass a supplemental spending bill to assist recovery efforts.
