Helping farmers helps Florida. Restoring critical roadways and resources for our agricultural partners is an essential step in keeping our supply chain thriving and products in the hands of consumers.
👨🌾 Disasters don’t just impact households. They also impact the farmers who keep Florida’s agriculture industry growing.
Today, FDEM Executive Director Jared Perdue joined Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson to assess storm-related damage to local farms & agricultural operations.
🚜 From damaged crops & equipment to impacts on critical agricultural infrastructure, @FLSERT continues working alongside @FDACS to identify recovery needs & coordinate assistance for impacted farmers & ranchers.
We’ll do whatever it takes to help Florida’s agricultural community recover & get back up & running. 🤝
🔗 Florida farmers in need of assistance can visit FDACS.gov for agricultural recovery resources & FloridaDisaster.org/Updates for additional disaster recovery information.
Following Hurricane Isaias and roadways being cleared for travel, FDOT took recovery efforts a step further. We helped hard-hit Santa Rosa County prioritize and evaluate school bus stops to ensure safe areas for students returning to school.
Over the last week, FDOT crews have removed nearly 31,000 cubic yards of debris from state-owned roads.
As the mission continues, our crews remain to work diligently to help the impacted communities recover from this storm.

🚧@FLSERT Executive Director Jared Perdue highlights the critical role of Emergency Support Function 1 (ESF 1) in restoring transportation infrastructure & access to communities impacted by Hurricane #Isaias.
From cut-and-toss operations & debris removal to roadway clearance & bridge repairs, transportation crews are working to reopen critical routes & ensure Floridians can travel safely.
🤝 Through coordination among state, local & transportation partners, ESF 1 plays a vital role in reconnecting communities & supporting ongoing recovery efforts.

Attention Northwest Florida motorists:
While the FDOT teams continue around the clock work to keep Hurricane Isaias recovery efforts moving, let’s keep them safe and help them get home to their families. Please remember to be alert, slow down, and give plenty of room to crews working on the roads clearing debris.

Ever wonder how all of that roadside debris disappears so quickly? Meet the FDOT grapple truck. With its hydraulic arm, it makes quick work of fallen tree limbs, storm debris, and downed trees.
Here until the job is done! FDOT’s crews remain committed to working diligently to clean up and remove debris on state roadways and assist where needed across the impacted areas.

Inspecting bridges isn’t always glamorous. It can mean heading into some dark, tricky spots! Right after Hurricane Isaias, our FDOT team got to work checking every bridge to keep everyone traveling safely. Thank you to our dedicated inspectors for all you do!

Storm recovery also means looking out for our furry friends.
While performing a bridge assessment drone mission in Okaloosa County for flooding of the Shoal River, our @MyFDOT_SEFL drone team spotted a baby white-tailed deer stranded in the flood water.
We called our partners @MyFWC who assisted us in getting the deer to safety!
The FDOT team is always #ReadyToServe!
I’m not sure which is more impressive: rebuilding a bridge destroyed by Hurricane Ian in just THREE DAYS or rebuilding a road in ONE DAY, as @GovRonDeSantis and I just announced after #Isaias.
Either way, Florida still holds the title for disaster preparedness and response.
All hands on deck from every corner of the state to finish cut and toss in Santa Rosa County.
Today, @FDOT_Secretary Jared Perdue joined our field crews after blitzing for the last 24 hours to get this job done quickly.

FDOT stands ready to help our local partners when they’re in need. To accelerate restoration efforts in Santa Rosa County, FDOT deployed over 500 personnel and over 100 pieces of equipment for cut and toss operations on local, rural roads. These teams continue to work nonstop to clear debris blocking roadways and help the community return to normal as quickly as possible.
Today, @FDOT_Secretary Jared Perdue and Chief Operations Officer Will Watts visited our Milton Operations team. Following any storm, our FDOT front line crews are often the first boots on the ground to impacted areas and are key players during response efforts.
