President Joe Biden toured areas in Florida hit by hurricanes Milton and Helene, announcing $612 million in federal funding to improve the region's power grid and support recovery efforts. Two projects in Florida, receiving a combined $94 million, aim to strengthen the power system and reduce outages caused by extreme weather. Gainesville Regional Utilities will enhance storm resilience, while Florida Power and Light will work with Switched Source to optimize power distribution.
Biden praised local officials and first responders for their quick action, emphasizing the unified national response and the ongoing efforts needed for recovery. Hurricane Milton, a Category 3 storm, killed 16 people and left over a million without power.
