President Joe Biden is in New Jersey to visit areas that were among the hardest hit by Ida.

The president is scheduled to come to Manville, which was not only impacted by major flooding conditions but also had at least three building explosions: two homes and a catering hall.

The borough is one of the spots in the state hit hardest by last week's storm. Ten inches of rain fell and numerous water rescues had to be performed. Manville is surrounded on all sides by the Raritan River.

Somerset County is one of the six counties for which Biden approved a disaster declaration. The other counties are Bergen, Gloucester, Hunterdon, Middlesex and Passaic.

Gov. Phil Murphy says work is being done to add other heavily impacted counties across the state, calling it a “work in progress,” and that the topic will be a major talking point with the president.

"So, this is the first six,” says Gov. Murphy. “The most obvious six. But not necessarily the last six, and so we're going to stay in there fighting to get other counties added to that list."

Impacted residents and business owners in the six approved counties can now request assistance HERE, or by calling 1-800-621-3362. Calls will be taken daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

New Jersey isn't the president's only stop today. He'll also be checking out damage in Queens, New York.
