California is stepping up to provide support in the face of natural disasters, with over 140 firefighters and support personnel from the state heading to Florida to assist with the response to Hurricane Milton. This deployment comes as part of a broader effort to aid in disaster relief, with California crews already stationed in the South to respond to Hurricane Helene.
Governor Gavin Newsom expressed solidarity with those affected by Hurricane Helene, stating, 'California stands with all those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene.' As Hurricane Milton approaches landfall, California is mobilizing additional specialized resources to bolster emergency response and recovery efforts.
