This\u200c new request, combined with the previously announced\u2064 $12 \u200dbillion, brings the total to $16 billion.<\/p>\n<h3>Commitment to Communities<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;The president has made it \u200cclear that\u200b we will stand with communities across the nation as they recover from \u2064these disasters, no\u2063 matter how long it takes,&#8221; stated a spokesperson for the Office \u200dof \u2063Management and Budget.
