Soon after the conditions improved in impacted parts of Florida, search and rescue teams, first responders, and utility workers from un-impacted parts of Florida and across the country deployed to the area. [112] [113] [114] The American Red Cross mobilized and began to provide shelter and supplies to those who needed it as well. [115] Various other International, federal and local organizations also mobilized to help spread donations throughout affected populations in the form of both monetary and physical donations. [116] [117] On October 3, The Guardian reported 10,000 people remained unaccounted for. However, the next day, FEMA's statement did not include numbers about people remaining unaccounted for. [118]

There were sporadic reports of looting and burglaries at several businesses in Lee County, Florida; alleged thefts of non-essential items such as sports apparel and athletic shoes during the height of the storm prompted officials to enforce a curfew in the county. [119] [120] Door-to-door scams posing as charities were carried out across the nation. [121] According to DeSantis, Florida was working with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to use the Starlink satellite Internet service to help restore communication across the state. [122]

At least eight school districts [123] suffered closures as a result of Ian. [124] The Lee County and DeSoto County Public School Districts reopened on October 17. [125] The Charlotte County Public School District reopened October 18. Sarasota County Schools were closed due to damage from storm, with classes resuming on October 10 for most of the county, while several schools that sustained more damage remaining closed until October 17. [126]

Critics have noted that federally subsidized flood insurance is one of the reasons that people continue to move to hurricane-prone areas of Florida. [127] [128] Since the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) began, millions of people moved to Florida in the past 50 years into areas that were part of Hurricane Ian's path in part, critics note, due to the subsidized flood insurance offered by the federal government and insurance companies. [129] NBC News described most of the deaths as preventable, blaming a lack of communication on the government's side and care on the citizen's side. [130]

Lee County also saw a sharp rise in infections and death from flesh-eating bacteria that live in warm brackish water. By October 18, 2022, 29 cases and four deaths had been recorded since landfall due to infection from Vibrio vulnificus , [131] at least one of whom was from out of state. [132] At least one Lee County man was infected with Mycobacterium haemophilum . [133] In Sarasota Bay, significant ocean stratification occurred, which took over a month for the bay to recover from, and resulted in some fish dying and fewer dolphin sightings. [134]

Around 15% of the bees in the United States, which were found in Florida, were affected by Ian. Upwards of 150,000 bee hives were destroyed in the storm. Surviving bees were malnourished due to Brazilian peppertrees, which bloom in the autumn, being stripped. [135]

Weeks later several coast side condominiums and hotels damaged by Ian in Volusia County were deemed unsafe and evacuated as Hurricane Nicole approached on November 10. Many structures fell into the ocean. [136]

On February 10, 2024, a fire station in Sanibel was demolished after suffering wind and flood damage. The station moved temporarily into a mobile home that month. [137]

The Tampa Bay Rays were forced to move their practice facilities for the 2023 preseason due to extensive damage in Port Charlotte. [138]

On September 30, Biscayne National Park and portions of Everglades National Park re-opened after having sustained little damage during Hurricane Ian. [139] Also on September 30, Jacksonville International Airport, Orlando International Airport, Tampa International Airport and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport reopened. [140] Dry Tortugas National Park resumed seaplane tours on October 2 and ferry tours on October 10. [141] Some state parks remained closed for longer periods of time. Myakka State Park did not reopen until December 19, 2022. [142] At Cayo Costa State Park, the location of direct landfall, the park remained closed until October 25, 2023. [143]

Following the storm, a total of 26 states, including New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Tennessee, gave assistance to Florida. [144]

Notes

  1. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office has claimed that 24 deaths have occurred. [46] However, the Florida Medical Examiners Commission has only been able to verify 9 deaths from Ian. [45]
