On Tuesday morning, Governor Greg Abbott deployed response resources to Florida’s Gulf coast as Hurricane Idalia continued to intensify.
Search and rescue teams departed from College Station around 3:30 a.m. as part of the Texas A&M Task Force 1 fleet.
In a press release, Abbott said, “Texans understand the urgency of preparing hurricane disaster response and recovery efforts. Texas is swiftly deploying assets to assist our fellow Americans in Florida as they brace for this devastating storm. Our country is stronger when we come together in times of crisis—and Texas is answering the call to support the people of Florida through this hurricane.”
“Everybody realizes when they say yes to our call, that they could be out for 10 to 14 days, and they take enough medications and all the things that they're going to need to be out there for that time,” Saunders said. “They'll be standing by until the storm comes onshore. And whenever Florida says that they need assistance, they'll work through all of that with their FEMA counterparts.
