Ron DeSantis<\/a> on Friday morning, Florida\u00a0Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie announced more fatalities from Hurricane Ian.<\/p>\n<p>He told reporters that there was one confirmed death reported in Polk County.<\/p>\n<p>In the hard-hit Charlotte County, 12 reported fatalities were unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In Collier County, there were eight unconfirmed deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie noted that the state was still processing a couple of other &#8220;situations,&#8221; including one where human remains had been found.<\/p>\n<p>He also warned about carbon monoxide issues, although noting he was not saying there had been carbon monoxide deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The governor announced that more than $12 million in donations had been raised following Hurricane Ian&#8217;s devastation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pretty, uh, pretty incredible that that&#8217;s happened,&#8221; he remarked, adding that donations help FEMA to &#8220;be a little bit more nimble.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nFEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said 13 counties in Florida have been designated for individual assistance as recovery and relief efforts are underway.<\/p>\n<p>The number of customers reported without power on Friday morning dropped below the 2 million mark, although DeSantis noted that 99% of Hardy County was without power, as well as 85% of Charlotte and Lee Counties.<\/p>\n<p>A water main break in Lee County, he said, left residents there without water.<\/p>\n<p>The governor said that situation was a &#8220;top priority&#8221; and that the Army Corps of Engineers was working to assess that situation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the DeSantis said that more than 10,000 residents \u2013\u00a0out of over 20,000 that have been contacted by the state \u2013\u00a0who had filled out a shelter in place survey on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridadisaster.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floridadisaster.org<\/a> had responded as &#8220;safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe state expects more responses on Friday and there is now a standalone website to let family members know you&#8217;re safe: <a href=\"https:\/\/missing.fl.gov\/es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">missing.fl.gov<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As rescuers continue to work, DeSantis said that they had reached more than 3,000 homes in the most impacted areas, with over 1,000 rescue personnel located up and down the coastline.<\/p>\n<p>The governor&#8217;s office later confirmed to Fox News that there had been at least 700 rescues.<\/p>\n<p>FDOT had cleared over 1,100 miles of roadway and the governor said that traffic was flowing out of the area and was &#8220;better than anticipated so soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>800 bridges were inspected and reopened, but DeSantis noted that Sanibel Bridge would be a rebuild project.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge had breaks in multiple parts.<\/p>\n<p>Six health care facilities had been evacuated in southwest Florida after issues with water or power for an extended period of time.<\/p>\n<p>\nDeSantis said that people have been working around the clock to be able to serve their constituents and communities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And, we appreciate the dedication. We appreciate the perseverance. We know that there&#8217;s a lot of difficult days ahead, but they&#8217;ve really done a great job of standing up for the people of their community,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an update with Florida Gov.
