○ On the 23rd, the Governor of Florida declared a state of emergency in the northwestern and western counties of the Florida Peninsula. A tropical depression is expected to develop into a tropical storm and potentially a hurricane.

○ The projected path indicates that the system will move north through the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to make landfall in the northwestern part of Florida. There are concerns about storm surges, coastal flooding, heavy rainfall, and widespread wind and water damage.

○ There is also the possibility of power outages and road closures. Therefore, please pay close attention to announcements from U.S. authorities and weather updates, stock up on water and food, and take safety precautions in advance. If necessary, consider evacuating to a safe location.

  1. On the 23rd, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in 41 counties in the northwestern and western parts of the Florida Peninsula. A tropical depression currently forming off the coast of Cuba is predicted to strengthen from a tropical storm into a hurricane.
  2. The projected path at this time suggests the system will move north along the Florida Peninsula in the Gulf of Mexico and could make landfall in the northwestern part of the state. There are concerns about storm surges, coastal flooding, and heavy rainfall over a wide area. Additionally, due to Hurricane Debbie in August, river levels, especially in northern and central Florida, remain above normal, raising the likelihood of severe flooding.
  3. The declaration also mentions the possibility of power outages and road closures, which could impact critical infrastructure. Residents of Florida or those planning to travel or stay in the area for business or leisure are urged to monitor announcements from U.S. authorities and weather updates. Review your plans, stock up on emergency supplies such as drinking water and food, and take safety precautions in advance. If necessary, please evacuate to a safe location.
  4. In the event a major hurricane makes landfall in Florida, we may check in on your safety via email or phone after the storm passes. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
