Biden approves federal disaster declaration for flood-ravaged Fort Lauderdale.

President Joe Biden has approved a federal disaster declaration for eastern Broward County, Florida, following historic flooding earlier this month. The declaration opens up federal assistance to victims of the storm, including grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
