Here’s the latest:


“President Biden immediately approved emergency declarations for the State of Florida and the Seminole Tribe of Florida.


Although there are thousands of federal personnel on the ground already working on Hurricane Helene recovery, we increased the size and scope of our operation.


“FEMA has staged 20 million meals and 40 million liters of water.


At President Biden’s direction, @SecDef has pre-positioned search and rescue teams, helicopters, and high-water vehicles as close to the storm as possible.


“And President Biden directed @FEMA_Deanne to travel to Florida to be with our State and local partners when the storm passes.


We urge everyone in Hurricane Milton’s path to listen to local officials and follow all safety instructions.”
