Hurricane Idalia was a Category 3 storm when it made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast with 125 mile per hour winds knocking down trees and power lines. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis activated approximately 5,500 Florida National Guard soldiers to assist with Hurricane Idalia's preparation and recovery efforts, and among those activated was the Florida Army National Guard's 868th Engineer Company based out of Live Oaks, Florida. These soldiers have been tasked with clearing roads of this fallen debris and vegetation by utilizing heavy machinery and chainsaws.
The FLNG is part of a larger team and working closely with our civilian partner agencies and stands ready to assist the people of Florida.
