Part 4/6:
The assistance process for disaster relief is complex and typically involves the administration submitting a request for supplemental funding to Congress, which is then reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This process takes time, especially given that the fires are still ongoing, and estimates of the total damage remain uncertain.
Currently, it is premature to speculate on the specific amount of aid that will be requested or the detailed scope of the supplemental legislation. The resolution will come after a thorough assessment is made once the immediate crisis has subsided.
