Biden after Sturm «Helene»: Politics has no place in the disaster area

The storm called "Helene" has caused devastating effects in the southern states of the United States in which at least 200 people have lost their lives. The effects of this storm are catastrophic, and the search for the people missing so far continues. The fact that many of those affected live in isolated areas that are difficult to access is particularly worrying.

President Joe Biden now faces the challenge of coordinating the various reactions to coping with damage. It is expected that he will visit the regions affected the most in the course of the week to personally get an idea of ​​the Situation and to donate consolation and support to the victims and the emergency services.

political dimensions

There are voices that are concerned that political aspects could focus on, while the immediate need for rescue and auxiliary measures should be in the foreground. Biden has emphasized that politics must be left out in order to ensure the support required for those affected quickly and effectively. This point of view is taken up and discussed from different sides, also from the opposition.

Regardless of the political discussions, many aid organizations have already mobilized in order to provide people in the affected areas. The state and local administrations work closely with these organizations to coordinate the logistics of help.

The situation remains tense, because while the rescue missions are in full swing, the concerns about possible aftermath of the storm are increasing. Experts warn of other storms that could tighten the situation.

The view is not only focused on the families concerned, but also on the structural adjustments that could be necessary in the future to alleviate the consequences of such natural disasters. For a detailed view of the case, see the report on www.radioherford.de .
