Good afternoon. Ah, the five advisory put out. But the National Hurricane Center has downgraded its I e s to a tropical storm. The wind shear and dry air today really served to weaken it. However, we do expect it to gain strength as the night goes on and to regain hurricane status. So we see re tense ification and we also see threatening the east coast of Florida. As thes tracks have said for the last day and 1/2. We will start seeing impacts from the storm tonight on then, obviously through tomorrow into tomorrow night. And perhaps beyond that, we now have 16 counties that have declared a state of emergency. Three mawr since my update this morning. Broward, Nassau ST Johns. Actually, ST Lucia's well have all declared states of emergency. We have had approval, of course, from the federal government for our category B reimbursements. We have hurricane warnings in effect from Boca Raton to the Volusia Flagler County line, the National Hurricane Center's predicting storm surge of 2 to 4 feet, potentially from Jupiter Inlet, all the way up to Ponta Vedra Beach in northeast Florida. Palm Beach County has issued a voluntary evacuation order for zone A from mobile homes, substandard homes or homes in flood prone areas. Those in this zone should listen to their local officials and seek shelter as appropriate. In addition to sending shelter kits with enough PP for 10,000 Floridians of the vision of emergency management is pre stage 1.8 million meals and deployed staff to county emergency operation centers in the storm's path. To help orchestrate response efforts to respond to power outages, the Department of Management Services activated its emergency telecommunications team. Utilities, including Florida Power and Light, have preposition workers. F P L has nearly 10,000 workers deployed and ready to respond, including more than 6500 line and vegetation personnel deployed across 16 staging areas up and down the east coast of Florida. Have there been some challenges getting out of state workers, but they're continuing to try to get even more. Resource is and are gonna work around the clock until every customer has the power back on. Even if it's tropical storm force winds, you can pretty much be assured you are going to see power outages. That's certainly a 70 mile an hour wind will be enough to take down trees and limbs that obviously interacts with power lines. And so so that will happen. And people should be prepared for that now. F p l Other utilities have invested in a lot of infrastructure such a smart grid technology that allows them to restore power faster. You have concrete and steel poles and also under grounding of lines. That means you repair the infrastructure without having to fully rebuild it, which means you can get the power back on quicker. And it does make a difference if you can get the power on ours is better than days and days, of course, is better than weeks. Yesterday, I wave weight restrictions for fuel trucks to ensure fuel could move quickly into and throughout the state. And we're working with private sector partners to monitor fuel availability. At this time, there's no reports of shortages. The Agency for Healthcare Administrations may cause the critical health care facilities along the East Coast. Ah, that Aaron a surge zone to make sure that they have everything they need. And as I mentioned previously, all nursing homes and assisted living facilities have a working generator on site, including the covitz specific nursing homes that the state's been involved with setting up over the last few months on the agency will continue to be in contact with these facilities to monitor the storm's impact. We don't have any indication there's going to be a major movement of patients up and down the East Coast that this time the Department of Health is also in close contact with special needs shelters. Should that become a knish. You Department of Environmental Protection closed 22 parks, an eight campgrounds, completed pre storm beach surveys and his issued emergency orders to authorize repairs, replacement restoration, other measures necessary to respond to its I. E. S. Of course, the Florida National Guard is monitoring, and they're ready to mobilize at a moments notice. And as I mentioned this way early this morning for the Highway Patrol and fish and wildlife are also both standing by in case of emergency. So Floridians should be executing their plans, particularly if you're on the East coast of Florida, in the Palm Beach and north of there, you should have seven days of food, water and medicine. You very well may experience power outages, so just be prepared for that now. There are, um, limited evacuation orders. As I mentioned, Palm Beach County has done a voluntary evacuation order. I think you probably won't see a huge number of those up and down the East Coast. And we in in the air of cove. It I think our guidance from the state has been Look, if it's a close call, air on the side of people just just hunkering down rather than sending people on the road. But obviously, there does come a point. If you're in an area and this storm is threatening and that decision is made, we ask you to follow it. For more information on S I E. S. Visit Florida disaster dot org's slash Info will continue to monitor this, but don't be fooled by the downgrade. We do think it will be upgraded back to a hurricane later on this evening with that, a couple questions. All right, well, we will see you guys tomorrow. Uh, with with another update, Hopefully all goes well tonight.
