This effort will be deploying more than 100 Starlink internet kits in Southwest Florida. It is a region particularly hard hit by the storm. As of Sunday morning, there were more than 865,000 individuals who didn’t have access to power, the New York Times reported.

DeSantis told the reporters on Saturday, as per Reuters, ‘We are working with Elon Musk and Starlink satellite. They are positioning those Starlink satellites to provide good coverage in the southwest area of Florida and other affected areas. We are expecting 120 additional large Starlink units to deploy to Southwest Florida.’

As we know, this isn’t the first time SpaceX provided assistance and lent a hand to a place where a crisis was going on. The company also helped war-torn Ukraine earlier this year. It delivered thousands of Starlink satellite kits following Russia’s invasion back in February.

In the month of June, Musk said that SpaceX had delivered 15,000 Starlink internet kits over the last three months. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praised Musk for his assistance in providing internet services to keep the citizens informed and stopping Russian propaganda from spreading.
