U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said federal officials have enough resources to meet immediate needs after back to back hurricanes but urged Congress on Thursday to fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency as needed.

"That being said, we will need additional funds, and we implore Congress, when it returns to, in fact, fund FEMA as is needed," Mayorkas told reporters during a virtual briefing at the White House.
