President Joe Biden approved Gov. Ron DeSantis’ request for a disaster declaration for Broward County, which was hit this month by heavy rains and flooding.

The declaration, announced Friday by the White House, makes federal funding available to people who sustained damage because of storms from April 12 to April 14.
