Florida Delegation Requests Major Disaster Declaration From Biden Following Hurricane Ian

The entire Florida delegation is in full support of the major disaster declaration for Florida. All 27 members of Congress joined Senators Scott and Rubio in supporting Governor DeSantis' request, which was approved at the federal level earlier this week.

While the hurricane will continue to impact the state for some time, and the full extent of damage will not be known for a few more days, we are working hard to make sure Floridians have all resources available to them as we rebuild stronger than ever.

Visiting FEMA Ahead Of Ian's Landfall

On Wednesday morning, just hours before Hurricane Ian made landfall on Florida's coast, I visited FEMA headquarters to ensure that every last need for Florida had been met at the federal level. As the lead Republican on the Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery Subcommittee in Congress, I’m doing everything I can to make sure Southwest Florida has every resource at their disposal.

Rebuilding Florida Following Hurricane Ian

The storm surge has devastated our state, leaving 2.6 million Floridians without power.
