9 now confirmed dead; Feds to "help"
Gov. Ron DeSantis warned that residents of the Champlain Towers’ sister building near Miami may need to evacuate out of an abundance of caution as investigators have yet to determine the cause of the South building’s unexpected collapse Thursday morning.
"That’s something that ultimately the mayor is going to have to make the call on," DeSantis said.
Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett is the one who would make that decision.
A group of scientists and engineers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology is expected to arrive in Miami and conduct a firsthand review of the collapsed building once the search and rescue operation comes to a close.
"If a full investigation or study is conducted, its ultimate goal would be to determine the technical cause of the collapse and, if indicated, to recommend changes to building codes, standards and practices, or other appropriate actions to improve the structural safety of buildings," said the agency’s acting director of public affairs, Jennifer Huergo.
Whether there is a threat to neighboring buildings or similar high rises up and down the East Coast may not be known until the NIST investigation is complete, Glenn Corbett, a former member of the Federal Advisory Committee of the National Construction Safety, said.
