FEMA and U.S. Coast Guard officials said about 4,000 people have been rescued in Florida by local, state and federal authorities.
while authorities in South Carolina began assessing damage from its strike there as the remnants of one of the strongest and costliest hurricanes to ever hit the U.S. continued to push north.
The office of North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper also reported Saturday at least four Ian-related deaths. They included a 25-year-old man, a 24-year-old woman, a 22-year-old man and a 65-year-old man. Three of the deaths involved vehicular accidents, the governor's office said, while the 65-year-old man died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator that was running in a closed garage during a power outage. The man's wife was also hospitalized.
"There are impacts to the hospital system," FEMA assistant administrator Anne Bink said, adding that FEMA is engaged in"bulk water delivery" to affected medical facilities, particularly in Lee County. "That area is going to be out of out of commission for a long time," said U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Brandon McPherson."It does not have water. It does not have basic infrastructure. I think some people might have though they could stay there for some time, but after camping out for a night or two, they're realizing that's not a viable option."
