US President Joe Biden has extended the major disaster declaration for Florida to 60 days, which allows the United States federal government to fully cover the cost of debris removal and sheltering in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian that battered the state last week, destroying homes and businesses and killing dozens.During a visit to Fort Myers on Wednesday, Biden pledged to put the full weight of the federal government to help Florida with the recovery and rebuilding efforts.“I want the people of Florida to know you have my commitment and America’s commitment that we’re not going to leave; we’re going to see you through this entire process,” Biden said.
