According to reports, on the same day, at a press conference held jointly with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Cooper stated that the state National Guard is continuing search and rescue efforts.
I want to remind everyone that (92 people) is not an exact number as the state-level task force is still working, “Cooper said.” As more reports emerge, it is expected that the number of missing persons may continue to fluctuate
