Austin: President Biden has declared 77 counties, including Dallas, Denn, Fort Worth and Galveston, as disaster zones. The White House made the announcement on February 20.
The White House was unwilling to fully acknowledge Texas Governor Greg Ebert’s demand that the entire state be declared a disaster zone after the winter storm and heavy snowfall caused billions of dollars in damage. The disaster caused heavy waves in all 254 counties in Texas. Many important counties have been excluded from the declaration. Following the president’s announcement, it was confirmed that federal funding would be available for damages in 77 counties.
Those who do not have insurance can also benefit from this. Heavy snowfall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday caused frozen pipes to burst, flooding homes and hotels, causing further damage.
President Biden said he will visit Texas as soon as possible to assess the natural disaster in Texas. But Biden also shared the concern that his visit would be a burden to the state.
Biden disagrees with Texas’ power supply system. Biden suggests a fundamental change in this. Meanwhile, the governor has demanded an immediate inquiry into the power outage and submit a report.
