. >> cnn's boris sanchez and kaitlan collins are in the hardest-hit county, lee county. boris, what's the latest? >> reporter: alison and victor, a big moment for residents of sanibel and pine island. very emotional moments as they get back to areas previously cut off by hurricane ian. we heard from some residents of sanibel. many don't know what they're going back to. that community decimated by hurricane ian and its nearly category 5 storm force winds. governor desantis vowing he will try to reopen a bridge into pine island by no later than today. here is what he shared a few moments ago. >> later today the public will be able to access this bridge and be able to get back. i think we have a chance to bounce back a lot quicker than people think. i think there's a great spirit on the island, and i think folks -- they just wanted to be able to stay there and go about their lives. you obviously can't do that effectively without this bridge. >> some of those islands are not far from where we are right now in ft. myers. we want to give you a snapshot of what president biden has been seeing during his visit to florida. on one side

sanchez is there in lee county. boris, we know that it will take months, if not years to put these communities back together. what's the latest on that path that you know now? >> reporter: victor and alsisyn this is pain staking and heart wrenching process for residents and the officials tasked with cleaning up these communities. we heard from the sheriff of lee county just a couple of hours ago describing this as still a search and rescue operation instead of a recovery operation. he does not want to give up hope that they will still find survivors, even though the chances of finding a survivor almost a week after hurricane ian made landfall with nearly category 5 storm force winds, that hope is dwindling. of course the sheriff has had to cut off certain areas of southwest florida in lee county because he wants as little foot traffic, as little influence or interference as possible in the ongoing effort to clear rubble. in that effort to clean up communities that are now unrecognizable, they have discovered cadavers and bodies and that is why the death toll continues to climb, specifically here in lee county. i got a chance to ask the sheriff of the county about that process
