Biden Addresses Hawaii: ‘I Want to Go and Make Sure They Have Everything They Need’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “My wife Jill and I are going to travel to Hawaii as soon as we can. That’s what I’ve been talking with governor about, I don't want to get in the way. I've been to too many disaster areas. But I want to go, make sure we have everything they need. I want to be sure we don’t disrupt the ongoing recovery efforts. FEMA administrator Criswell, who's the best we ever had, I think, was on the ground this weekend, I just talked to her, she’s back in the States. I have directed her to streamline the process as quickly as possible to help register survivors for immediate federal assistance without delay. To date, FEMA has approved 5,000 — 50,000 meals, 75 liters — 6,000 liters of water, 500 beds, 10,000 blankets, as well as other shelter supplies for survivors displaced from their homes.”
