Florida Gov. DeSantis Declares State of Emergency: Prepare for a Major Hurricane

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, September 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hurricane Ian continues to pose a grave threat as it intensifies rapidly into a major hurricane after a delayed Atlantic season. So far, another Hurricane, Fiona, has already caused extensive damage to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, Canada, and more, leaving millions of households without power or clean drinking water as they deal with major flash flooding. Currently a Category 2, Hurricane Ian threatens Florida with the potential to reach a Category 4 with evacuations already taking place in Tampa Bay. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an official warning that residents should prepare now with non-perishable food, water, gas, and any medicines people may need. ReadyWise, the leaders in emergency preparedness, are here to help you prepare before disaster strikes.

"Expect heavy rains, strong winds, flash flooding, storm surge, and even isolated tornadoes. Make preparations now," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "Anticipate power outages. That is likely to happen with a hurricane of this magnitude."

Puerto Rico has remained without power for the fourth day straight, according to poweroutage.us, leaving regions without electricity or water services. You never know when a natural disaster can strike, which is why it's so important to prepare beforehand. ReadyWise recommends that households always be stocked with a backup generator, non-perishable food, and clean drinking water.
