Harris, Biden survey Hurricane Helene damage in Georgia, North Carolina

Oct. 2 (UPI) -- President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited Hurricane Helene-ravaged regions in North Carolina and Georgia on Wednesday, as they promised the United States government would help in recovery efforts "for the long haul," and announced full reimbursement to local governments for the cost of the storm damage.

Standing in front of a house damaged by a large tree, Harris thanked "all of those who are working to get folks the support and relief that they so desperately need and so rightly deserve."
