Another convoy of support is being sent by California to help with the disasters in Florida. California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that 70 more first responders have been sent by the state to help relief and search and rescue efforts due to Hurricane Milton. The once Category 5 hurricane was a Category 3 once it hit Florida, causing massive flooding and damage.

Governor Newsom told the media, “In times of crisis, Americans unite to lend a helping hand. California is sending hundreds of emergency personnel to aid Florida as the state endures devastating hurricanes. Floridians, please stay safe and follow all emergency guidance.”

The amount of personnel sent by California now equals 354. Many states have shown their support by sending food, supplies, water, and personnel to try and help all of those hurt by the hurricane.

The Red Cross has done a great job at supporting the people of Florida with shelters, food, and even emotional support. The Red Cross is requesting donations as well as blood donations in certain areas.
