Its use in responding to Helene is the first instance Maven has been applied to hurricane response efforts, defense officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe can get data out of these environments that have little to no communications capabilities back into the FEMA dashboard so they understand where they need to supply things,\u201d said one defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. \u201cI think being able to bring together this common operating picture gives us better situational awareness, helps us respond faster and facilitates getting support and supplies out quicker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system eliminates the need for responders to read through spreadsheets to gather pertinent information. Instead, Maven pulls out the most important data for leaders to analyze, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military used similar technology for disease surveillance during the Covid-19 pandemic and to track individuals during the withdrawal of U.S. forces and their allies from Afghanistan, according to officials. The operators of Maven are hoping to learn from their experience responding to Hurricane Helene, and want to hone the system for use in future natural disasters or national crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat way, in an event like this, we can be part of the noble effort assisting the nation\u2019s citizens in their most urgent time of need,\u201d a defense official said. \u201cWe can create a platform that can be an enduring presence, ready to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of Maven\u2019s job for the hurricane response is to track members of the National Guard and active-duty troops who have deployed to the areas hardest hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Monday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2024\/10\/07\/500-more-active-duty-troops-to-aid-hurricane-helene-relief-efforts\/\" target=\"_blank\">7,600 troops from 18 different states had deployed to the southeast<\/a>. They\u2019re providing humanitarian relief, clearing emergency routes, assessing damaged water systems and restoring infrastructure. The Defense Department also provided hundreds of high-water vehicles and dozens of helicopters and rescue boats, Pentagon press secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has established 12 emergency operations centers across the southeast, including three in North Carolina alone, Ryder said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 7,000 federal personnel, including FEMA staff, are deployed to the area. As of Sunday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/press-release\/20241006\/federal-assistance-hurricane-helene-survivors-surpasses-137-million-biden\" target=\"_blank\">FEMA had approved $137 million in housing and other types of assistance<\/a> to more than 81,500 households in North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The agency also provided 15 million meals, 14 million liters of water and 157 generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As response efforts were underway, misinformation about FEMA\u2019s work spread online. The high volume of false information sowed confusion among survivors and threatened response and recovery efforts, FEMA said. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/disaster\/current\/hurricane-helene\/rumor-response\" target=\"_blank\">agency created a webpage to try to dispel the rumors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the cleanup from Helene continues across the southeast, Florida was preparing Tuesday for another hurricane to make landfall this week. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/refresh\/graphics_at4+shtml\/150217.shtml?cone\" target=\"_blank\">Hurricane Milton was expected to hit the west coast of the state on Wednesday<\/a> as a Category 3, the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2024\/10\/08\/5000-more-national-guard-troops-mobilized-ahead-of-hurricane-milton\/\" target=\"_blank\">5,000 Florida National Guard troops were mobilized Tuesday<\/a> to prepare for Hurricane Milton\u2019s arrival. Army officials moved additional personnel and equipment to Fort Moore in Georgia in anticipation of search and rescue operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This story was produced in partnership with <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvj.network\/\"><i>Military Veterans in Journalism<\/i><\/a><i>.
