“So as of this moment, we’ve got about 16 shelters open. As of 11 a.m., we were serving 8500 guests. That’s likely to go over 10,000 today. And we have a room for everybody who needs a place, a safe place to weather out this storm"

“So the school district provides the shelters, but our principals are serving as the shelter managers, and it’s mostly our staff that are working. So we have principals, assistant principals, teachers, our cafeteria managers are serving, preparing and serving lunch right now. There are lots of other agencies here to support both county and state. And we’ve got some folks from out of state coming in now to to help because of the large numbers. But ultimately, my crew’s responsible for making sure this works."

“So we wait until the storm passes and then residents will start to leave pretty quickly because they want to check on their own homes. We know that for this storm, there may be trees down, there may be roads blocked. And so, obviously, we’re going to operate for as long as the emergency management officials need us to."

STORYLINE:
Evacuees in Bradenton, Florida are receiving food from school staff among other agencies supporting the sheltering effort as Hurricane Milton approaches the state.
Superintendent Jason Wysong who manages the Manatee County school district says schools will serve upwards of 10,000 people.
"The school district provides the shelters, but our principals are serving as the shelter managers, and it’s mostly our staff that are working. So we have principals, assistant principals, teachers, our cafeteria managers are serving, preparing and serving lunch right now. There are lots of other agencies here to support both county and state" Wysong said.
Hurricane Milton is hurling rain, tornadoes and tropical storm-force winds at the U.S. coast as time runs out for residents to evacuate from the storm’s potentially catastrophic path toward Florida. The National Hurricane Center stressed that it was not certain where Milton’s center would come ashore Wednesday night because the storm’s path might “wobble,” but the entire Tampa Bay region and points south were at grave risk.
