Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Most Troops to Leave Region of Hurricane
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The military’s main Hurricane Andrew relief operations are done and nearly all remaining troops will be pulled out of South Florida this week, their commander said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will handle remaining duties. Nearly 2,000 people are still in the three remaining tent cities. But officials say 200 to 300 may not qualify for continued temporary housing since many were already homeless before the storm.
