Many of you are considering what you will do. It is important that you carefully explore all options.

I will work alongside you to develop the right strategy and action plan.
Each situation is unique and personal. So, if you have questions or concerns, need advice, or just want to talk, call me. On a side note, please be on the alert for fast talkers, scammers, bottom feeders or irresponsible people who prey on taking advantage of this unfortunate situation.

Floridians Unite to Mitigate
the Effects of Helene & Milton |
As Florida residents who experienced the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton over the last month, we are grateful and proud to live in a state where our government officials, emergency workers and fellow residents coalesced in far reaching actions to mitigate the effects of the storms. Neighbors helping neighbors. Emergency response teams rescuing those in need. Power line workers restoring electricity. Law enforcement providing resource delivery escorts and traffic control. The list goes on.
Governor Ron DeSantis and other government leaders, with the cooperation of local media outlets, have been visible and reassuring while activating and coordinating services for Florida residents. For example, as of Sunday, October 13 (four days post Milton):
- Over 3 million Floridians had power restored
- The State Emergency Response Team engaged in nearly 2,600 missions
- Urban Search & Rescue Teams rescued nearly 1,800 individuals and 225 animals
- Florida Division of Emergency Management opened 20 Points of Distrubution fuel sites
- Emergency Orders have been filed to streamline recovery eforts
The scope of work being done is astounding. For full updates of state response and recovery efforts for Hurricane Milton, go to: |
