On Tuesday, a White House official announced that the Biden-Harris administration has launched a White House account on Reddit, where it will release information about the work the federal government is doing. The decision was also driven by a need to meet “more people where they are,” noted White House Deputy Platforms Director Megan Coyne in a post on X.
The account, u/whitehouse, is now sharing critical information about the administration’s response to Hurricane Helene, including the over $37 million in assistance already approved for over 28,000 households. The account also noted there are more than 1,000 FEMA officials on the ground and over 1,200 Urban Search and Rescue personnel in the field who have now rescued or supported over 3,200 survivors.
