And there are multiple volunteer agencies that are staged and prepared to perform feeding operations as soon as it is safe to do so, We have provided Florida with 300 ambulances as well as expert federal medical teams. We have 3.7 million meals and 3.5 million liters of water staged in Alabama. And just yesterday I spoke with the president and Ceo of the American Public Power Association to discuss some of their emergency preparedness actions and the mutual aid agreements that they have in place. The Army Corps of Engineers is pre staging 350 personnel to conduct power and fuel assessments as soon as the storm passes. We have moved in a variety of generators of all sizes and types to restore power to critical infrastructure and medical facilities as needed. ![]() We have a 128,000 gallons of fuel remained ready for rapid deployment. These teams will coordinate search and rescue efforts by land air and sea. Our search and Rescue coordination teams remain staged in Miami to include teams from our fema, Urban search and rescue program, The Coast Guard Cbp the Department of Defense, the Department of the Interior and the state of florida. As I said yesterday, Search and Rescue remains a top priority. So now I'll give a brief update operational update on the inter agency personnel commodities and resources that we have deployed to support this response. And it's incredibly important that you only run generators outdoors. Too many lives are lost each year due to carbon monoxide poisoning. And third never operate a generator in your home. Second, if you are taking shelter in an area with rising water levels quickly find higher ground. First, never drive through standing or moving water as it takes only a few inches of water to carry away a vehicle. Therefore, I would like to just share a few key safety messages that will help keep you and your family safe. These are life saving messages that simply cannot be ignored and when it comes to hurricanes, water water is dangerous period from coastal storm surge to inland flooding the majority of the state of florida is in Ian's Crosshairs. That means we need everyone to heed the warnings of their local officials before, during and after the storm. But as with any storm, the most important work starts at home. Virgin Islands? Together, they cover over 84 MILLION acres.And I can confidently say that we have the right teams and we have the right resources in place and ready to meet the changes or the needs of those that we are charged to serve.
