In a recent government meeting, officials addressed the ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Milton, which has left at least 11 people dead and approximately 3 million without power. Keith Turry from FEMA emphasized the importance of providing accurate information to those affected, noting that many individuals have lost loved ones and homes. He urged the public to utilize the FEMA website and resources to access the correct information regarding disaster assistance.

Turry outlined the steps for those impacted by the hurricane to seek help, including registering for assistance through disasterassistance.gov, using the FEMA app, or calling 1-800-621-3362. This process is crucial for identifying individual needs and facilitating direct financial assistance.

In addition to the hurricane's aftermath, the meeting also touched on a separate incident involving a malfunctioning elevator at a former gold mine in Colorado, where one person has died and 12 remain trapped. Rescuers have successfully saved 11 individuals so far.

The meeting concluded with a brief update on international events, including a tragic airstrike in Gaza that resulted in the deaths of at least 27 people, including children and women. The Israeli military stated that the strike targeted a militant command center located within a school sheltering displaced individuals.
