According to the National Hurricane Center, there is now an increased risk for storm surges, rainfall, and tropical storm conditions for Florida that could continue through Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis\u2019 state of emergency applies to Hillsborough, Sarasota, Charlotte, Citrus, Pinellas, Pasco, Lee, Collier, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Manatee, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Levy counties. The governor said this list may change depending on the storm\u2019s track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cIf it does go west, we could even take Miami-Dade out of it if there\u2019s not gonna be any impact in Miami-Dade,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cIf it stays close to east, then obviously, potentially, as we get into northern Florida, we\u2019re probably gonna have to add some counties in the interior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis appointed Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, as the state coordinating officer for the state\u2019s response to the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur executive order will assist the division and the state emergency response team to the storm, ensuring Floridians are prepared for potential impact,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The earliest expected impact on Florida is expected this Monday afternoon, according to a National Weather Service official.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
