As Hurricane Milton threatens Florida, several Oklahoma organizations and agencies are stepping up to help.Here we call it the Oklahoma standard, the state's quick-to-serve mentality."Thats part of being an Oklahoman for sure neighbors are always helping the neighbors. Most of us are born and raised here and stay for a reason," said Josh Lee, director of the Craig County Technical Resource Task Force. He along with the members of the Grand River Dam Authority, Pryor Fire Department, Quapaw Tribe and Mayes and Craig County Emergency Managements left from Mayes County around 2 p.m. on October 6. It took the team about a day to drive to Florida, they stopped in Birmingham, Alabama to rest.  For these Oklahomans there's no question when duty calls."Its nothing new for first responders to sacrifice time and just kind of what they all do and the families are understanding and supportive," said Lee. When Floridas Emergency Management called on Oklahomans for support. Our law enforcement answered that call, even without knowing what to expect.Hurricane Milton hasn't made landfall and it's all about preparation in Florida. But these crews are ready when the time comes. "The storm will kind of control what sort of response is needed but we were asked to go as a swift water rescue team," said Lee.This team brought numerous watercraft and boats preparing for any amount of flooding and water they may encounter. As of Oct. 7, they plan on helping with rescues, assisting Florida's emergency crews. Hurricane Milton came just weeks after Helene made landfall, devastating parts of the east coast, including in Florida. Some Oklahoma organizations are already helping clean after Helene.
