01:48Most of the data we have does have a Taylor County landfall,
01:52but all those areas there along the Big Bend Coast in areas that are low-lying,
01:58that are susceptible to potentially major storm surge,
02:02you're under an evacuation order.
02:04Some people have.
02:05Because the storm isn't going to get here until a little later,
02:08we're going to see some effects soon,
02:10but right now you actually still have time to be able to evacuate.

02:29Once we start to get the real nasty conditions,
02:32don't at that point go on the roadways.
02:35That is very hazardous.
02:36That does produce fatalities when people do that in the middle of the storm.
02:40If you are sheltering at home, be cognizant of what trees are around you.

03:41I've directed FEMA to work with the state partners to take proactive measures
03:45to ensure the communities in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee,
03:49South Carolina, and other states have the support and resources they need.
03:53That includes improving pre-landfall emergency declaration requests
03:58from the governors of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama.
04:03In my direction, more than 1,000 federal personnel have already been deployed to those areas.
