The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said that the administration will “support all communities” following a remark by Vice President Kamala Harris that “communities of color ... are most impacted” by hurricanes.

About a day after Hurricane Ian ravaged Florida, Harris made the remarks and said that those communities are most “impacted by these extreme conditions” and that “we are all thinking about the families in Florida and Puerto Rico with [Hurricane] Fiona and what we need to do to help them in terms of an immediate response and aid.”
