Gov. DeSantis speaks on Hurricane Helene aftermath in Bradenton, Fl
SUMMARY: In response to ongoing rescue demands in Western North Carolina after a storm, Operation Blue Ridge was initiated, involving state and National Guard assets for air evacuations. Many roads are destroyed, complicating rescue efforts. Rescue missions continue, with efforts to deliver supplies via helicopter. The use of flood protection devices (tiger dams) has effectively prevented water damage in critical areas, demonstrating the need for mitigation strategies. Plans for future resilience include potential incentives for homeowners to deploy similar flood barriers. The governor anticipates further storms but remains prepared to mobilize resources efficiently for any required response.
