From Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis:

“Upon signing this emergency declaration, I spoke with Kevin Guthrie, the state Director of Emergency Management, who has pledged to allocate any available resources from his agency to assist in our recovery efforts. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission will also be sending boats and buggies to our region.

Please refrain from traveling on the roads at this time and stay updated by monitoring the updates provided by the City of Fort Lauderdale.
