Global News | “Life and death”: Biden stresses dangers of Hurricane Milton as evacuation window narrows | FULL @globalnews | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
U.S. President Joe Biden provided a Wednesday update from Washington, D.C., on the federal government's response to Hurricane Helene and the preparations for Hurricane Milton, which is set to slam into the already-battered Florida on Wednesday night.

“At this point, evacuation is probably difficult, so I encourage people to look for safer shelter. Sometimes moving just a few miles can mean the difference between life and death,” Biden said.

In response to a reporter’s question regarding why former president Donald Trump “may be spreading misinformation,” alluding to online comments that the Republican candidate has recently shared regarding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Biden also slammed the remarks as “un-American.”

Hurricane Milton strengthened to a Category 5 storm on Monday and has since been downgraded to a Category 3. Florida officials have said this could be the biggest evacuation in seven years — just days after the significant impact of Hurricane Helene.
