DeSantis provides update on Hurricane Ian efforts

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis provided an update on Hurricane Ian recovery efforts Monday.

He’s held a news conference in Cape Coral alongside state and local officials.

“This is a massive effort to get the power back on across the state,” he said.

He also provided updates on bridge repairs in southwest Florida.
