Condado de Orange emite evacuación obligatoria para residentes de casas móviles

In the interest of public safety, Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs issued a mandatory evacuation notice to all residents living in mobile homes in Orange County. These structures are particularly high risk for storm-related damage and the order has been issued in an effort to preserve the safety of those residents. Upon notice to evacuate, residents are expected to make final preparations and plans to seek shelter prior to the onset of Hurricane Irma which is anticipated to affect Central Florida beginning Sunday morning.

At this time, Orange County Fire Rescue personnel are going door-to-door in various communities to deliver the evacuation notice. Personnel are encouraging residents to stay with family or make their way to shelters which will open at 9 a.m. Saturday. Residents can find information regarding what to bring and how to prepare for sheltering at ocfl.net.

Those affected with access to a safe location with family or friends are encouraged to relocate immediately. In the event that staying with loved ones is not feasible, Orange County recommends relocation to one of the below shelters:
