Rough Transcript:
The death toll in the collapse of a condo building in Surfside, Florida has reached nine, officials said Sunday. One person died at the hospital and eight were found at the site of Champlain Towers South. Crews are still searching for the more than 150 people who are missing.
In other developments:
Families of the victims will be allowed to visit the rescue site. It will be a very private event.
The fire that had been a problem for rescuers is under control, eliminating the threat and hinderance caused by smoke. Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis said, “Pieces of the wreckage will be moved by heavy equipment to a warehouse to be analyzed. The debris that gets out does have forensic value, and so that’s going to be inspected."
Families told officials of their frustration with the pace of search updates. Requests for identifying information about their missing family members, such as tatoos or clothing, have upset the families more. The Miami-Dade police director said, "This tragedy has put us together. Please understand that we have to get through this together."
The Mayor of Surfside, Charles Burkett, reassured families waiting for answers, "We are working 24 hours a day, nonstop, nothing else on our mind. We're going to keep going until everybody is out." The Army Corps of Engineers is giving technical help at the site. Administrator Deanne Criswell also said FEMA has started to register families needing assistance and will provide "face-to-face" guidance in receiving government aid. The organizer of an improvised memorial to the victims complained to Governor DeSantis before the press conference began that the street it's on has been blocked off. The Mayor intervened, telling the man the city will move the memorial to a park nearby. People have left photos, rosaries, flowers, and toys found in the rubble at the memorial.

Let us continue to offer support and prayers to all affected by this tragedy, and for those working to find survivors.
