Hurricane Milton

While parts of Florida were still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Milton made landfall on the west coast and made its way across the state, producing additional tornadoes and severe flooding as it went.

The Salvation Army established multiple incident commands to respond in affected areas, expanding services as new areas became accessible. The roads were littered with fallen trees and debris, with some still impassable as crews worked tirelessly to clear the way.
