As Hurricane Idalia approaches Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, some parts of our area are issuing evacuation orders.
Action News Jax is monitoring local counties as they release this information and will update this story as we learn more.An evacuation has been ordered for Zone A, which consists of Cumberland Island and Little Cumberland Island.
Earlier this year, the Camden County Board of Commissioners approved new hurricane evacuation zones for Camden County. The county now features four zones to better reflect risk and evacuation management. Camden County residents, regardless of zone, should strongly consider voluntary evacuation in low-lying areas. Locations that have flooded in the past are likely to flood during this tropical event. Residents in manufactured housing should consider relocating to a stronger structure.
