He also said he expected to request additional disaster relief funding from Congress. <\/p>\n<div class=\"n-content-layout\" data-layout-name=\"auto\" data-layout-width=\"full-grid\">\n<div class=\"n-content-layout__container\">\n<div class=\"n-content-layout__slot\">\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Ae3bd9c20-6c43-40e2-ae8c-e9d10e2ab876?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Ae3bd9c20-6c43-40e2-ae8c-e9d10e2ab876?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3Ae3bd9c20-6c43-40e2-ae8c-e9d10e2ab876?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=3 3x\" width=\"2278\" height=\"1519\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2Fe3bd9c20-6c43-40e2-ae8c-e9d10e2ab876.jpg?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1\" alt=\"Asheville residents residents line up for petrol at a filling station in western North Carolina\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2278\" height=\"1519\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption\"><span>People line up for petrol at a filling station in Asheville, North Carolina<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Travis Long\/Reuters<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"n-content-layout__slot\">\n<figure class=\"n-content-image n-content-image--full\" data-component=\"image-set\"><picture><source media=\"(min-width: 700px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A47b1ce2a-1168-4775-aa0f-33f327b8ff2e?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1 1x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A47b1ce2a-1168-4775-aa0f-33f327b8ff2e?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=2 2x,https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/ftcms%3A47b1ce2a-1168-4775-aa0f-33f327b8ff2e?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=3 3x\" width=\"2287\" height=\"1525\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/__origami\/service\/image\/v2\/images\/raw\/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2F47b1ce2a-1168-4775-aa0f-33f327b8ff2e.jpg?source=next-article&amp;fit=scale-down&amp;quality=highest&amp;width=700&amp;dpr=1\" alt=\"Destroyed vehicles lay near what used to be Mill Creek in Old Fort, North Carolina\" data-image-type=\"image\" width=\"2287\" height=\"1525\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"n-content-picture__caption\"><span>Destroyed vehicles in Old Fort, North Carolina<\/span><span> <!-- -->\u00a9 Melissa Sue Gerrits\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not leaving until the job is done,\u201d Biden said. \u201cWe will be there as long as it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said he planned to visit North Carolina on Wednesday but only after it was clear that he and his entourage\u2019s arrival would not disrupt the operations of the first responders.
