Bellman , the United States Army Corps

00:13.890 --> 00:16.057

00:16.057 --> 00:18.279
I'm here today on the beach during post

00:18.279 --> 00:18.100
storm hurricane Mill and hurricane

00:18.170 --> 00:20.600
Heleen damage assessments . We've also

00:20.610 --> 00:22.499
worked with the Coast Guard in no

00:22.499 --> 00:24.610
reopen the Tampa Harbor to allow fuel

00:24.610 --> 00:26.721
vessels to come back in to refuel the

00:26.721 --> 00:28.777
state of Florida . We've also worked

00:28.777 --> 00:28.739
with several of the water management

00:28.750 --> 00:30.694
districts in Florida to help fight

00:30.694 --> 00:32.750
floods as a result of the torrential

00:32.750 --> 00:34.917
rain that followed from the hurricanes

00:34.917 --> 00:37.028
and having this first blue roof going

00:37.028 --> 00:38.806
on one week after mill and made

00:38.806 --> 00:41.680
landfall . It really help the people of

00:41.689 --> 00:43.689
Florida by getting their lives back

00:43.689 --> 00:45.856
together and getting these roofs on so

00:45.856 --> 00:48.022
they can start getting there , picking

00:48.022 --> 00:50.189
up the pieces from the hurricane . One

00:50.189 --> 00:50.060
thing , people don't know all the Corps

00:50.069 --> 00:52.291

00:52.291 --> 00:54.402
government . All of them volunteer to

00:54.402 --> 00:56.458
do disaster response , which is huge

00:56.458 --> 00:58.402
for them . Not only are they doing

00:58.402 --> 00:58.360
