If you're evacuating for Hurricane #Milton, don't wait!
Visit FL511.com for live traffic updates & know that you only need to travel tens of miles, not hundreds.
Visit FloridaDisaster.org/Updates for more resources & learn more below about Emergency Shoulder Use.
To help facilitate evacuations for #HurricaneMilton, Emergency Shoulder Use (ESU) plans are actively being put in place for Eastbound I-4 and portions of Northbound I-75. Law enforcement and signage will alert motorists on when to enter and exit the shoulder. Learn more about ESU by watching this video: bit.ly/3YbhTAi

10/8: Evacuation FACT: Shelters are open in areas needing to evacuate for #Milton.
MYTH: You need to leave Florida to escape the storm.
Evacuate TODAY if you've been told to do so, are medically dependent on power or live in a home that can't withstand hurricane force winds.

🚌 Tomorrow, 10/8, there will be free shuttles operating in Pinellas, Pasco & Hillsborough counties assisting with #Milton evacuations to shelters.
This shuttle is free & requires no reservation. Times & locations can be found at FloridaDisaster.org/Updates.

There is never a day that goes by that I do not think of the 17 loved ones we lost at MSD, the students, teachers, first responders and the entire Parkland community. I encourage everyone to join Broward Public Schools at 10:17 a.m. to observe a moment of silence in their honor.

ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) workers often hold multiple jobs - working late nights, on weekends and during holidays. Yet they are still unable to keep up with the rising costs of basics. #DispellingMyths #UnitedForALICE UnitedForALICE.org
ALT On a blue background on the left side, text reads: "Myth: ALICE doesn't work hard enough." On a white background on the right side, text reads: "Reality: ALICE employees often work two or more jobs - and still cannot pay their bills."

Did you know that exercise can improve your mood? It's true.
Exercise has many health benefits, including increasing lung capacity and heart strength, building muscle mass and accelerating bone regeneration. #Health #TheMoreYouKnow #LiveUnited

Not all healthcare is the same. @HHEAL98 helps people improve physically, gaining strength and balance, and helps mentally as well. Equine therapy brings joy and a sense of calm to clients' lives.
