On August 29, the Southeast Florida Region 7 All Hazards Incident Management Team (AHIMT) was called upon to aid Taylor County, Florida, in its recovery efforts following Hurricane Idalia. The team assisted at the Taylor County EOC for over 14 days, working closely with their Emergency Management Director. They were tasked with assisting several missions such as: clearing roadways, establishing temporary facilities throughout the county, restoring power, and collaborating with the National Guard to establish points of distribution for water, ice, and food. Additionally, they partnered with the County Health Department to acquire supplies for water testing and mosquito control while ensuring that residents were informed about the organizations who were offering daily hot meals.
