Florida Representative Greg Steube has been actively addressing the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and the impending threat of Hurricane Milton. Steube, who represents the 17th Congressional District of Florida, has been vocal about the devastating impact these storms have had on his constituents.
On Thursday, Steube appeared on 'Wake Up America' to discuss the dire situation in his district. He expressed his concern over the repeated hits these communities have taken, emphasizing the need for immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts. 'It's heartbreaking to see the same people get hit again,' Steube said during the broadcast.
Steube has been working closely with local authorities and federal agencies to ensure that residents affected by Hurricane Helene receive necessary assistance. He recently joined Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) to survey damages in Charlotte County, highlighting the extensive damage caused by the storm.
In addition to his local efforts, Steube has been advocating for federal support for storm recovery. He has introduced legislation aimed at helping Floridians recover from storms, but he has expressed frustration with the lack of support from Democratic lawmakers in Washington.
Residents in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee counties who were impacted by Hurricane Helene are now eligible to apply for FEMA Individual Assistance, as announced by Steube on his Twitter account. This development is seen as a crucial step towards providing immediate relief to those affected.
Florida residents are bracing themselves for the potential catastrophic devastation that Hurricane Milton could bring. Steube has warned that coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to the storm's surge, which is expected to be life-threatening.
As the state prepares for another potentially disastrous storm, Steube's efforts to secure aid and support for his constituents remain a top priority. His commitment to addressing the needs of his district during these challenging times has not gone unnoticed.
