Major Hurricane Milton is projected to strike Florida, threatening the region with severe storm surges, high winds, and flooding. The Seminole Tribe of Florida seeks federal assistance for emergency preparations on their lands.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott have appealed to President Joe Biden to promptly approve the Seminole Tribe's request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration.
"Hurricane Milton is expected to bring damaging wind, rain, and flooding to Florida, including Seminole Tribal lands. Ensuring the Tribe has access to the federal resources needed for emergency response is imperative to protecting members of the tribe, their communities and property."
The letter from Senators Rubio and Scott emphasizes the urgency of granting this declaration before Hurricane Milton's anticipated impact on Florida.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
