When speaking out of Port Charlotte on Monday, DeSantis announced that he will be giving $126 million to 24 communities impacted by Michael.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, on the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Michael, we awarded $126 million to 24 Northwest Florida communities to aid with recovery.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a long road, but great progress has been made.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1579564213072429056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The hurricane hit the Sunshine State in 2018. It caused damage to the Florida panhandle. The hurricane was the first Category 5 storm to land in the United States since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cToday I can announce that as part of our long-term efforts to rebuild the community, and as a sign of that, the commitment needs to be lasting,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cI\u2019m announcing that we\u2019re awarding an additional $126 million to 24 communities across the panhandle that are continuing to strengthen and rebuild after Hurricane Michael.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis also took time to reflect on his first gubernatorial campaign, where he promised to help the panhandle recover from the storm\u2019s aftermath. He also used the opportunity to reassure the residents of southwest Florida who are still recovering from the damage caused by Hurricane Ian.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cYou had this storm. It was kind of a big story, went for like a week maybe,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then kind of people outside the area left. And you\u2019re seeing that here as well. So, I became Governor January 2019 and I said, look, this is where we haven\u2019t forgotten you. We understand that there\u2019s a lot of current needs, but there\u2019s also just going to be a lot we need to do over not just days, weeks, months, but even years. And so that\u2019s going to be something similar that we\u2019re going to see here in these southwest Florida communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Florida Governor ended his address by thanking local law enforcement, first responders and the Coast Guard for their speedy response to help communities who have suffered the most from the event.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s been over 2,500 rescues done, over a thousand search and rescue personnel have gone door to door,\u201d the governor stated. \u201cThey\u2019ve done 108,000 structures to check on occupants. So that\u2019s an incredible effort over really a relatively short period of time because we had a lot of massive resources. So, I want to thank everybody that\u2019s been involved \u2013 local law enforcement, local first responders, urban search and rescue, coast guard, Florida fish and wildlife. All of these assets mobilized.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the meantime, DeSantis has called on Congress to expedite their process of securing long-term recovery funds for Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
