It has now shifted to a Category 1, but it is still very dangerous, with winds up to 75 miles an hour.<\/p>\n<p>And the impacts of this storm are being felt throughout the Southeast, even as it moves up the eastern coast of the United States, affecting Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. And we have to remain vigilant. And there\u2019s much more to do.<\/p>\n<p>I just came from the Oval Office, where I met with the FEMA Administrator, who is standing to my left here, and our federal response folks.<\/p>\n<p>And early Monday morning, long before the storm made landfall, I spoke with Governor DeSantis and approved an early request for emergency declaration to enable him to have the full support ahead of time to protect the peoples\u2019 lives in the state of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>I \u2014 we surged personnel to Florida to help the state move people quickly to safety and out of the danger zone and to help the governor and his team to the greatest degree possible in advance \u2014 in advance of the hurricane\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n<p>And I directed the FEMA to redeploy [pre-deploy] resources, including up to 1,500 personnel and 900 Coast Guard personnel, throughout the Southeast.<\/p>\n<p>I directed Administrator Criswell to stay in close touch with the governor, and she was with me when I was speaking to him as well.<\/p>\n<p>And I guess he\u2019s maybe tired of hearing both of us, but he seemed like he welcomed it.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact, I have asked that she get on a plane and leave for Florida this afternoon. She will meet with Governor DeSantis tomorrow and begin helping, conducting the federal assessment at \u2014 at my direction.<\/p>\n<p>Federal teams on the ground are going to continue to work with the first responders in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina to get people to safety.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve all been reporting this; you\u2019ve seen it on television. There are a number of recues already taking place \u2014 as I walked out of my office a moment ago \u2014 to begin to recover from the impacts of this storm.<\/p>\n<p>I let each governor I spoke with know that if there\u2019s anything \u2014 anything the states need right now, I am ready to mobilize that support of what they need.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore. Just look around: historic floods \u2014 I mean historic floods; more intense droughts; extreme heat; significant wildfires have caused significant damage like we\u2019ve never seen before. It\u2019s not only throughout the Hawaiian Islands and the United States, but in Canada and other parts of the world. We\u2019ve never seen this much fire.<\/p>\n<p>And while we\u2019re dealing with this latest extreme weather event, I remain laser-focused on recovering and rebuilding efforts in Maui.<\/p>\n<p>We were out there, and many of you were there as well. It\u2019s devastating what happened there.<\/p>\n<p>When I took office, I directed my team to raise our game in how we lead and coordinate our responses to natural disasters \u2014 and because I\u2019ve been around a while, and I\u2019ve known how these function \u2014 to ensure we met the people where they are when they need our help the most.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the devastation of wildfires \u2014 from California to New Mexico, Oregon, Washington State, Idaho, Louisiana \u2014 we\u2019ve learned a heck of a lot. A lot of damage in the meantime, but we\u2019ve learned a heck of a lot. And we\u2019re putting the lessons we\u2019ve learned to work.<\/p>\n<p>In a few moments, I\u2019m going to meet with my entire Cabinet in the next room over who are leading the federal recovery and rebuilding efforts and report on their progress in providing the urgently needed support to the people of Maui.<\/p>\n<p>If I can note for \u2014 just parenthetically for just a moment: You know, when you have your home washed away, when you are \u2014 a fire has taken your home away, when your school has been destroyed, and there\u2019s no way that you can \u2014 you can\u2019t even \u2014 can\u2019t send your kid to school, these are urgent needs. And no matter how bright, how informed, how wealthy, how poor they are, it\u2019s \u2014 they just need reassurance \u2014 said, \u201cHow in God\u2019s name am I going to get through this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, Jill and I saw the devastation in \u2014 in Maui firsthand.<\/p>\n<p>And I want to thank Governor Josh Green, who is doing one hell of a job, along with their congressional delegation \u2014 there\u2019s total unity out there \u2014 and for everything they\u2019re doing to support the recovery effort.<\/p>\n<p>I directed my team to do everything we can for as long as it takes to help Maui recover and rebuild in a way that respects and honors Hawaiian traditions and cultures and the needs of the local community. We\u2019re not going to turn this into a new land grab. We\u2019re not trying to have \u2014 see multimillion-dollar homes on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>We want to restore that part of the island like it was before, only better.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, when I was on the island last week, I appointed Bob Fenton, one of the nation\u2019s leading emergency managers \u2014 and I mean that; that\u2019s not hyperbole \u2014 who has been on the ground in Hawaii since before the fires erupted \u2014 as our Chief Federal Response Coordinator to lead our long-term recovery on Maui.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve charged him with making sure the community has everything \u2014 everything the federal government can offer to heal and build back better as fast as possible. You know, he\u2019ll be giving me a report virtually on Maui when I walk out of this room and go to the Cabinet Room, where I\u2019m meeting in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>And as an example of our commitment, we\u2019re not only building back, but we\u2019re going to build back a stronger and more resilient future, which means we need to be ready to withstand any challenge coming our way and rebuilding the way that Maui wants to rebuild \u2014 the nature of the rebuilding.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019m announcing that $95 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is on the way to Hawaii to harden the ground power \u2014 harden the grid we talk about.<\/p>\n<p>I know when we start talking about \u201cthe grid,\u201d the average American out there thinks, \u201cWhat are we talking about?\u201d Well, the bil- \u2014 the ability to transmit electricity. Well, let me tell you what it means: It means investments to make sure electricity can continue to reach homes, hospitals, water stations, even during intense storms and extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p>The funding will be used for stronger and better poles holding up the \u2014 the wires that transmit the electricity. It will mean stronger material. It will mean burying these lines that transmit the electricity underground. It\u2019s more expensive to do that. But where possible, we should put them underground; they\u2019re safest. It means clearing trees and brush around these wires. It\u2019s like \u2014 like the kindling is \u2014 that exists out there, it \u2014 that\u2019s what it ends up being when one of those wires come down.<\/p>\n<p>And this funding is going to pay for installing technology \u2014 technology like smart meters that can tell \u2014 tell you where the problem actually is when the line goes down. That\u2019s part of the problem: A lot of these and other \u2014 not Hawaii\u2019s \u2014 Maui is not that big, but in parts of California, Oregon, and all these places where these fires were \u2014 where did the wire go down?<\/p>\n<p>So, we\u2019re going to be installing meters to let the person sitting back in headquarters know, \u201cWhoa, it went down at such and such a coordinates, such and such a pole\u201d to enable emergency responders to more quickly identify which lines are damaged and are down so repairs can happen as quickly as possible and we get the power back on and prevent damage from occurring. Anything else \u2014 and anything else at our disposal.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Energy \u2014 you know, Secretary, we\u2019re going to be talking about this in a minute \u2014 accelerated the announcement of this funding to meet the moment.<\/p>\n<p>All this is going to help Maui and the entire state of Hawaii better withstand future disasters. Because this is not going away. It\u2019s not like, \u201cWell, these are the last disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We know this works \u2014 and I\u2019ve some of you folks for \u2014 standing in front of me on television, in dangerous circumstances, reporting on this stuff. You know it. It\u2019s one thing to look at it on television and hear someone else report it, but you\u2019re standing there, and you\u2019re wondering, \u201cWhoa, what\u2019s that behind me?\u201d You know, it makes a difference.<\/p>\n<p>You know, because we\u2019ve \u2014 you know, we\u2019ve done it before. Look, under the Obama-Biden administration, we invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the state of Florida, replacing wooden power poles with steel poles and to buil- \u2014 and we buried these electric lines. Well, I wonder what would happen now if we hadn\u2019t done that. I\u2019m not sure what. But the point is: We did it, and it helped them restan- \u2014 withstand and recover from disasters more quickly than they otherwise would have.<\/p>\n<p>So, it works. It costs a lot of money, but it works. But it saves a lot of money in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>When Jill and I visited Maui last week, we saw firsthand the magnitude of the loss. Your lives have been dramatically changed. If anybody in Maui is listening, you\u2019ve got \u2014 you\u2019ve lost everything. I mean, they lost everything. And we\u2019re doing everything we can to move heaven and earth to help you recover, rebuild, and return to your lives.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already \u2014 have dedicated $24 million to the removal of hazardous material left behind when the \u2014 in the fire\u2019s wake. There\u2019s pollution that is in that material. A lot of that you just can\u2019t go in and take bulldozers and clear it all out. You\u2019ve got to take the bad stuff out. You\u2019ve got to take out the polluted and dangerous stuff. And we \u2014 and once we\u2019ve done that, we\u2019ll be able to remove all of the debris.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s going to be frustrating as the devil for people. They\u2019re going to say, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I go back? The storm is over. Why can\u2019t I go back and look to see if I can find that wedding ring or if I can find that \u2014 that album \u2014 can\u2019t find that thing that I\u2019ve lost in the house?\u201d It\u2019s really tough \u2014 really, really tough.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know anything like that, but I \u2014 lightning struck my house. We had to be out of that house for about seven months while it was repaired because so much damage was done to the house and half the house almost collapsed. You know, and you wonder what \u2014 what\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already dedicated $400 million to pay for the debris removal once we get the toxic stuff out \u2014 to take all the removal. And we\u2019re going to \u2014 the federal government is going to pay for that. The state is not paying for that. And we\u2019re going to dedicate more if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>But I want to be clear with the people of Maui about what to expect: The work we\u2019re doing is going to take time. In some cases, a long time. We\u2019re going to do it in a way that makes sure we\u2019re respectful to the wishes and the traditions of the people of Hawaii as well.<\/p>\n<p>The process of removing hazardous materials and cleaning the environmental damage means folks can\u2019t get back in the area right away. The start of school has been disrupted. It\u2019s painful. I get it.<\/p>\n<p>But what can I tell you? The one thing I can tell you is that we\u2019re going to be with you every step of the way. We\u2019re not walking away.<\/p>\n<p>When Jill and I visited, we were struck by the absolute courage of the people there \u2014 people who lost loved ones, lost everything. People are just trying to find out whether the ones they lost are lost. Are they gone, are they dead, are they missing, or are they just not accountable? Where are they? They\u2019ve lost everything.<\/p>\n<p>Everywhere we turned, we saw and felt the Aloha spirit \u2014 neighbors helping neighbors. I mean, it \u2014 I know this sounds kind of corny, but it\u2019s true. It\u2019s true. Everybody is reaching out, trying to help the other guy, turning pain into purpose, and keeping the faith.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m directing my administration to continue working with urgency and focus to help the people of Maui on their journey to recovery and healing. And we are going to make you are healed and you\u2019re in better shape than before.<\/p>\n<p>I said when I was on the island last week: We\u2019re not leaving until the job is done. And we\u2019ll be there as long as it takes.<\/p>\n<p>I know there\u2019s a lot of questions you probably have. I\u2019ll take a few, but I have a Cabinet meeting coming up right away.<\/p>\n<p>Yes?<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President, can you assure Americans that the federal government is going to have the emergency funding that they need to get through this hurricane season?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: The answer is: If I can\u2019t do that, I\u2019m going to point out why. How could we not respond? My God. How could we not respond to these needs?<\/p>\n<p>And so, I\u2019m confident, even though there\u2019s a lot of talk from some of our friends up on the Hill about the cost, we got to do it. This is the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>Yes?<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President, Governor DeSantis is also running for president. You are running for reelection. Do you sense any politics in your conversations with him about this issue?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: No. Believe it or not. I know that sounds strange, especially how \u2014 looking at the nature of politics today.<\/p>\n<p>But, you know, I was down there when \u2014 the last major storm. I spent a lot of time with him, walking from village to \u2014 from community to community, making sure he had what he needed to get it done. I think he trusts my judgment and my desire to help. And I trust him to be able to suggest that he\u2019s \u2014 this is not about politics. This is about taking care of the people of his state.<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President, on the hurricane, is \u2014 in your conversations with the governors, is there anything that you\u2019ve heard from them that gives you pause \u2014 things that you think need to be there that are not quite there yet?<\/p>\n<p>And secondly, are you making any contingency plans on your own schedule \u2014 either with this Labor Day with your own personal travels and also for your international travels that are coming up next week \u2014 but are you going to need to reshuffle things?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Well, I may. I just don\u2019t know yet.<\/p>\n<p>And first of all, the \u2014 each of the governors seem to be focused. And I think what\u2019s changing \u2014 particularly the governors from North, South Carolina, as well as Georgia \u2014 is there wasn\u2019t an anticipation that it\u2019d be moving up there \u2014 up the coast. They were hopeful, and initially it looked like it was going to go further east and not affect them. So I think they\u2019re all in the process of rapidly focusing on what may happen, what may not happen.<\/p>\n<p>And what they\u2019re \u2014 what I hope the people of \u2014 of those states listen to is the warnings when they come from the \u2014 I mean, a lot of it \u2014 there\u2019s \u2014 they may not see 130-mile-an-hour winds coming through, but guess what? You may also be on the shore in a low-lying area and have an eight-foot surge of, you know, w- \u2014 wind surge coming from off the \u2014 off the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>But they see \u2014 they \u2014 they\u2019ve all been through it. I \u2014 the guy furthest north, Cooper \u2014 Governor Cooper is really focused on it. I mean, they all are; I don\u2019t mean to pick. But, I mean, he is the least likely to have the most impact occurring on his shores. But it\u2019s a lot of low-lying country.<\/p>\n<p>I was joking with him. I mean, my state is \u2014 you know, when you have anything like a hurricane in my state in Delaware and \u2014 and suburban Mar- \u2014 I mean, on the eastern shore in Maryland, we\u2019re three feet above sea level, man. You know, you worry about what those \u2014 those surges do.<\/p>\n<p>And \u2014 and that\u2019s \u2014 the same thing is still happening in \u2014 in Florida, because you\u2019re talking about the high tide, low tide, adding three feet, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>So I found them all to be laser-focused on what their needs were and \u2014 and I \u2014 you can ask them, but I think they\u2019re reassured that we\u2019re going to be there for whatever they need, including search and rescue off the shore with the Coast Guard \u2014 and Coast Guard helicopters and the like.<\/p>\n<p>Q And, Mr. President \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President, I have a question for you about \u2014 we talked a lot about powerlines and the pa- \u2014 the \u2014 having stronger poles. I \u2014 I was curious. Some power companies have talked about potentially shutting off power when there are sort of high-wind incidences for vast parts of the count- \u2014 the country. And I\u2019m wondering if you think this is sort of an appropriate response by power companies or if you think that they should be working to sort of harden their infrastructure more than just ending power when there is a storm?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: I \u2014 I think both. Look, I can \u2014 it\u2019s very expensive to secure these powerlines, both in terms of the actual structure \u2014 you know, we look out there and you see these \u2014 these \u2014 these large towers carrying multiple wires, and the wires are, like, that thick. And they\u2019re \u2014 you know, they\u2019re \u2014 they\u2019re carrying an awful lot of energy. And sometimes those entire com- \u2014 those entire towers come down.<\/p>\n<p>I am not expert enough to know when it makes appro- \u2014 it\u2019s appropriate to shut down that line. And that\u2019s one of the reasons why I think having the technology to have these meters on each of these facilities tells you where the danger is.<\/p>\n<p>So I can picture \u2014 I\u2019m get- \u2014 I\u2019m getting beyond my expertise here. But \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Q So you\u2019re talking about huge numbers of Americans suddenly not having power because the company \u2014<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Well \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Q \u2014 makes the determination that \u2014<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Well, but, by the way, you know, we also know how many huge number of Americans have died, how many huge number of Americans have \u2014 for example, more forest has been burned to the ground since I\u2019ve become the \u2014 in the time I\u2019ve been doing this than the entire square miles of the state of Maryland. Imagine the entire state of Maryland burning to the ground. That\u2019s how much has already burned to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>So, I think as we try to harden the capacity to transmit energy, it\u2019s not irrational to make a judgement that you may have to, in a certain circumstance, shut off the power. I just don\u2019t know enough to know the detail of how to do that \u2014 I mean, where that decision is made.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re starting off \u2014 I was talking with Liz Sherwood-Randall, who d- \u2014 handles this for me, about the need to put these meters along these so we know where \u2014 where the power is going down. You may be able to shut off parts. I just don\u2019t know enough to know that.<\/p>\n<p>Q Mr. President, are you concerned at all that a potential government shutdown would impact the recovery efforts? And what is your reaction to House Republicans who say that they\u2019re launching a investigation into the federal response in Maui?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Well, I\u2019m \u2014 I welcome federal response in Maui. I \u2014 I think that they should go out and talk to every elected official, from the mayors to the governors to the United States senators to the congresspersons. I welcome \u2014 and once they go out and see it, then I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll \u2014 they\u2019ll provide the money.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you all very much.<\/p>\n<p>Q Any concerns about Mitch McConnell\u2019s health, sir?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: By the way, I \u2014 I \u2014 I just heard literally coming out. And Mitch is a friend, as you know \u2014 not a joke. We \u2014 we always \u2014 I know people don\u2019t believe that\u2019s the case, but we have disagreements politically, but he\u2019s a good friend. And so, I\u2019m going to try to get in touch with him later this afternoon. I don\u2019t know enough to know.<\/p>\n<p>Q Do you think he\u2019s fit to serve \u2014<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Q \u2014 and should run for reelection?<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Are you running?<\/p>\n<p>SECRETARY MAYORKAS: I am not, sir.<\/p>\n<p>THE PRESIDENT: Okay.
