**UPDATE: Colorado Task Force 1 (CO-TF1), October 7, 12:15 pm, MDT**
CO-TF1 has completed its work in North Carolina and is now headed to Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton. The team is expected to arrive in the Orlando area around 7 pm eastern time tonight. They will join with six other FEMA USAR (urban search and rescue) teams already in place.
Milton has rapidly intensified to a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph, and could likely impact the same areas hit by Hurricane Helene.
