Welcome to

Governor Charlie Crist has declared a state of emergency for tropical storm and likely hurricane Hanna. The order allows the state to make preparations and assist other states if the storm causes damage elsewhere. Christ issued the order this morning after the Nation Hurricane Center indicated the storm was picking up speed and intensifying.

�This morning I have issued an executive order, declaring a state of emergency due to the threat of Hanna to the state of Florida. This order will ensure that timely precautions are taken to protect communities and the general welfare of our state, as well as to initiate measures to provide assistance to other states in need.�
says Crist.

Hanna is expected to be a minimal hurricane off the coast of Jacksonville on Friday.
