Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a Category 3 storm, prompting urgent recovery efforts across the state. As of October 10, 2024, over 3 million residents remain without power, despite 635,000 power restorations reported by Governor Ron DeSantis.
Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has been actively involved in assisting those affected, cautioning residents about potential hazards such as downed power lines and unstable trees. Mills announced the delivery of 10 generators to support shelters and advised individuals to stay vigilant while assessing damage.
Mills also highlighted the importance of safety, urging residents not to underestimate the dangers of standing water. He encouraged donations to the Seminole HEART nonprofit for hurricane recovery efforts.
This disaster follows Mills' previous humanitarian efforts, including a rescue mission in Israel after the October 7 Hamas attacks and helping U.S. citizens evacuate from Afghanistan in 2021. The ongoing recovery from Hurricane Milton underscores the challenges faced by local communities as they navigate the aftermath of this significant storm.
