The impending landfall of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has created a logistical challenge for crews in the Southeastern United States as they prepare to respond to the aftermath of the storms. The back-to-back nature of these hurricanes has made it difficult to organize crews to provide assistance in the affected areas.
Due to the ongoing restoration and rebuilding efforts in the Carolinas following Hurricane Helene, many crews are already deployed in that region, limiting the availability of mutual aid assistance for areas expected to be impacted by Hurricane Milton. This constraint has prompted crews from states farther away to travel to Florida to provide support.
