00:51 Does Puerto Rico Have a Fossil-Fueled Future? Puerto Rico’s recovery could be a boon for renewables, but some leaders in Washington appear to have a different vision.

At a Glance Monday Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a State of Emergency to assist incoming evacuees who were displaced after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico.

The declaration will provide resources and assistance needed to accommodate families impacted by the storm.

Relief centers have been opened and state colleges and universities have agreed to waive fees and tuition for students from the island.

The first plane from Puerto Rico is expected to arrive Tuesday morning.

Officials expect at least 100,000 people.

As Puerto Rico continues its fight to recover after being devastated by Hurricane Maria, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has declared a State of Emergency to help provide relief for those fleeing the island.

All 67 counties in the Sunshine State are under the declaration, which will "provide important resources and assistance needed to best accommodate the needs of families impacted by Hurricane Maria when they come to Florida," according to a release from Scott's office issued Monday.

"Puerto Rico was totally devastated by Hurricane Maria and so many families lost everything," Scott stated in the release. "With families displaced by Hurricane Maria already present and still arriving in Florida, it is critical that our state is prepared to provide the resources they need upon entering our state."

The storm slammed into the U.S. territory on Sept. 20, packing maximum sustained winds of 155 mph . It was the strongest hurricane landfall in Puerto Rico since the Category 5 September 1928 San Felipe/Lake Okeechobee storm.

At least 18 were killed by the storm and roughly 55 percent of the island is still without water .

A relief center has been opened at Orlando International Airport and two more at the Miami International Airport and the Port of Miami will open Tuesday to help Puerto Rican families displaced by the storm, according to a separate release from Scott's office. Nearly 40 state colleges and universities have also pitched in, waiving out-of-state tuition and fees for students from the island.

"Our goal is to make sure that while Governor Rosselló is working to rebuild Puerto Rico, any families displaced by Maria that come to Florida are welcomed and offered every available resource from the state," Scott said in the release. "These Disaster Relief Centers will help Puerto Ricans coming into Florida get matched with all the available state resources they may need and ensure that as families come into Florida, they are given the tools they need to work and provide their children with a great education."

The relief center set up at Orlando International will act as a first stop for those seeking help , according to the Orlando Sentinel. State agencies and charities such as American Red Cross will be helping families find shelter, food and water.

“At this point, there is the unknown of how many people or what will be needed, so it is a starting point,” airport spokesperson Carolyn Fennell told the Sentinel. “It’s merely a reception point to say, ‘Here’s what you can look for’ or ‘What do you need?’”

The first plane from Puerto Rico is expected to arrive at 11 a.m. Tuesday, the Sentinel reports. Officials say they expect at least 100,000 evacuees to arrive in Florida, the Sentinel reports.
