Utah volunteers head to Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton [Video]

ORLANDO, Fla. — The Utah American Red Cross deployed seven volunteers to Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton. 

According to a press release from the American Red Cross, Hurricane Milton is the second significant storm expected to hit Florida recently. 

The Associated Press reported that some storm models suggest it could make landfall as early as Wednesday. 

Some areas of Florida are already recovering from the destruction brought by Hurricane Helene. The Red Cross said that over 2,000 people are already helping with relief efforts in Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. 

“Our volunteers are stepping up once again, providing critical support as Florida braces for another major hurricane,” said Michael Smauldon, the American Red Cross Northern Utah and Southwest Wyoming chapter’s executive director. 

Along with volunteers, the Red Cross is sending supplies and vehicles. Per the press release, they are also coordinating with local emergency personnel to provide support at evacuation centers.
