“I signed an Executive Order issuing a state of emergency out of an abundance of caution to ensure that the Florida Division of Emergency Management can begin staging resources and Floridians have plenty of time to prepare their families for a storm next week,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I encourage Floridians to have a plan in place and ensure that their hurricane supply kit is stocked.”
The storm is expected to make landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast sometime early to mid next week. There is potential for heavy rainfall, strong winds, and isolated tornadic activity.
The following counties are under a State of Emergency:
