CONCORD, NH — Five employees from the New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) are being deployed to Florida to respond and help with recovery efforts to Hurricane Milton.
“These emergency management professionals from New Hampshire will provide much-needed relief and support to the teams in Florida already working around the clock,” said Governor Chris Sununu.

The Tampa Bay region, home to more than 3.3 million people, hasn’t seen a direct hit from a major hurricane in more than a century.
“In addition to these individuals and members of the New Hampshire National Guard who have deployed, we stand prepared to provide whatever assistance possible to the communities impacted by Hurricane Milton, Sununu said. “We will continue to monitor the situation and remain in contact with our partners. Our prayers are with Florida.”
