Texas Sends Support To Florida As They Face Hurricane Milton
Florida is feeling the wrath of climate change after Hurricane Helene made landfall Sept 26. and left over 200 people dead plus hundreds more unaccounted for. Now they are facing Hurricane Milton, a storm that ‘exploded in strength and intensity at near record pace becoming one of the most intense hurricanes on record in the Atlantic basin‘ according to Climate.gov. There are thousands of people without power in Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama, and Kentucky, and the entire nation is coming forward to help neighboring states.
In a statement released by the Office of the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott said, “Our country is stronger when we come together in times of crisis, and Texas is immediately deploying additional support to help our fellow Americans as Florida braces for this major hurricane.”
At Governor Abbott’s direction, Texas has deployed nearly 200 first responders to support hurricane response and recovery efforts across the southeastern United States, including:
- Deploying emergency response resources to Florida to support Hurricane Milton response and disaster recovery resources to Tennessee to support Hurricane Helene recovery
- Deploying Incident Support Task Force personnel to North Carolina to assist state and local emergency operations centers communities impacted by Hurricane Helene
- Deploying emergency veterinary resources to North Carolina to support Hurricane Helene response and recovery efforts
