Terms and data sources
This site shows information from several public agencies and utilities alongside Florida VOAD's own. This page says where each piece comes from, how often it is refreshed, and what it is not.
Not a substitute for official instructions
Nothing on this site is an evacuation order, a shelter announcement, or an official warning. Those come from your county emergency management office, the Florida Division of Emergency Management, and the National Weather Service. Feeds shown here can be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable, especially during the events they describe. If something here conflicts with what your county is telling you, follow your county.
