The Florida National Guard is gearing up for search and rescue operations as Hurricane Milton approaches the state. Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday that this mobilization is the largest in the history of Florida.
Currently, there are 9,000 Guardsmen deployed, with one-third of them coming from other states to assist in the efforts. In total, there are twenty-six search and rescue teams strategically positioned along the west coast, ready to spring into action once the storm passes.
