00:00To the people of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee, Virginia,
00:06and Alabama, your nation has your back.
00:10Last week, I spent time in four states to see firsthand how you're doing and to thank
00:15the first responders who run toward danger.
00:18I saw homes destroyed, businesses wiped out, bridges washed away, survivors in shock, and
00:24families grieving.
00:26We grieve with you.
00:27This is more heartache than any one community can bear.
00:31In moments like this, there are no red or blue states.
00:35No matter how you vote, we help each other when disaster strikes because we are one United
00:41States of America.
00:43That's why even before the storm hit, I searched federal support to help communities prepare
00:48and save lives.
00:49Thousands of personnel are now on the ground all across the Southeast to find missing persons,
00:54to clear debris, to deliver food and water, and to start the hard work of recovery.
01:00FEMA is knocking on doors to sign up survivors for direct immediate financial aid because
01:05many of them need it now.
01:07And I've directed my team to stay there 24-7 with you until this job is done.
01:13Thank you to first responders and everyone who is supporting someone in need.
01:18Neighbors helping neighbors, acts of kindness, keeping communities together, people leaning
01:23on each other to pick up the pieces of shattered lives.
01:27People around the country asking, can I come in and help?
01:30That's America's very best.
01:32There's nothing we can't do if we do it together.
01:34We're going to do it together.
01:36God bless you all.
