During a news conference on Monday afternoon, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis revealed that a pre-landfall declaration request for support for Hurricane Milton from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been approved. The governor emphasized the importance of preparedness and urged residents on the West coast of the state to take necessary precautions ahead of the storm's impact.
DeSantis stated, 'We have made a pre-landfall declaration request from FEMA for support, and the federal government has approved a portion of our request for pre-landfall items. We expect the remaining parts of our request, such as debris removal and individual assistance post-landfall, to also be approved once the storm hits.'
