Letter to Joe Biden, President of the United States - With Hurricane Looming, Rubio, Scott Urge President to Declare Pre-landfall Emergency Declaration
Letter
Issues: Government Operations
Dear Mr. President:
We write in support of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration due to Tropical Depression 9, which is expected to strengthen and impact Florida in the coming days.
Ensuring that the state has access to the federal resources it needs is imperative to protecting Floridians, property, and our communities. The storm's track and expected intensity could make it a major hurricane prior to an anticipated landfall. As such, we request that you promptly approve Governor DeSantis' request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
