who lost their homes are pleading with President Biden to overturn a decision keeping them from individual federal assistance.
"If we had FEMA assistance, I mean we would be able to start to rebuild them a home to have somewhere to live, otherwise our daughter that’s 14 may not have a home until she’s 18," said Candace Tyler, one of the survivors featured in the video. Biden did approve the state’s request for public assistance and hazard mitigation assistance, but not for the Grizzly Flats residents trying to rebuild.
"'We’re going to take care of them and there’s a lot we can do.' Those were the president’s words spoken to these families in September," said Rep. Tom McClintock on the House floor. "I appeal to the president to use his authority to keep his promise to the victims of the Caldor Fire."
