Personnel from about half a dozen state agencies on Monday were deployed in response to a request for help in Florida by the U.S. Forest Service.

Gov. Tom Wolf announced that 23 members of the Pennsylvania Incident Management Team left for Florida after the forest service requested assistance to help with storm cleanup in the wake of Hurricane Irma.

"The men and women who left Harrisburg today represent the spirit that unites all Americans, one that motivates us to help one another," Wolf said. "Pennsylvania stands ready to provide whatever aid we can to people impacted by this storm."

The team, which is expected to be deployed for up to two weeks, is made up of staff from PEMA, Corrections, Conservation and Natural Resources, State Fire Academy, Health, and Human Services. Their mission for this deployment is to aid in debris cleanup and supervision of saw crews.

Hurricane Irma is expected to be a rain event across Pennsylvania.

Meteorologists on Monday turned their attention to Hurricane Jose, which stands to have potential impact on Florida and the East Coast of the U.S.
