President Joe Biden is touring damaged areas and being briefed on recovery efforts Thursday after devastating storms hit California in recent weeks, killing at least 20 people and causing destruction across 41 of the state's 58 counties.
The president arrived at Moffett Field in Mountain View aboard Air Force 1 just after noon Pacific Time Thursday. He will be accompanied by Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell, Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state and local officials while visiting the storm-damaged Capitola Pier in Santa Cruz County, where he is meeting with business owners and affected residents.
"There has just been so much trauma to this community and it's really important that we keep that in mind. ... These communities have had loss of life, loss of their well-being and their livelihood, and I think it's incredibly important that they know that the president is here to support them and that the full force of the federal family is going to be behind them.", freeing up additional federal resources for recovery efforts.
