WASHINGTON, Oct 5 - The damages from Hurricane Ian will cost the U.S. federal government "billions," FEMA's top administrator said on Wednesday. Asked by a reporter what the storm will cost the taxpayer-funded federal government, Deanne Criswell said "It’s gonna be in the billions. How many billions I don’t know yet,” she said, adding it was “perhaps one of the more costly disasters that we’ve seen in many years.”Reporting by Steve Holland; Writing by Heather Timmons
