Florida National Guard Hands Out Emergency Supplies After Hurricane Isaias

Florida Army National Guard soldiers distributed water, food and other essential supplies to residents on October 11 as recovery efforts continued after Hurricane Isaias struck the Florida Panhandle.

Soldiers assigned to the 715th Military Police Company, part of the 164th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, worked at a distribution site in Walton County, handing out relief items and coordinating with local personnel.

Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin on the evening of October 9 as a Category 2 storm. The Florida National Guard activated roughly 5,000 soldiers and airmen to support recovery operations, including route clearance, search-and-rescue missions and humanitarian assistance.
