Know your zone
Florida officials want residents to know their evacuation zones well before a storm threatens the Sunshine State. Only the following Central Florida counties have designated evacuation zones:

There could still be evacuation orders in those counties ahead of a storm, but the orders will not refer to designated zones and will instead refer to geographic boundaries or landmarks, according to Floridadisaster.org.
Gas up now
Well ahead of the storm, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency, clearing the way to bring in more fuel.
Officials with the auto and travel group AAA said there is plenty of gas in Florida as Hurricane Dorian approaches. It's just a matter of getting it to the state's gas stations.
AAA said in a statement Friday that retailers are having trouble keeping up with surging demand since gas stations can only hold so much fuel at a time.
AAA says Florida will continue to get shipments of gas as long as its ports stay open.
DeSantis has ordered state troopers to escort the trucks to the gas stations.
Dorian strengthened to a major Category 3 hurricane Friday, capable of inflicting devastating damage. It is expected to reach the Florida coast by late Monday or early Tuesday.
What if my evacuation route includes tolls?
Florida's tolls have been suspended.
When can you go home?
Residents should be prepared to shelter in place for the duration of the storm. If county officials issue an evacuation, be prepared with a plan to leave.
Drivers using the Waze GPS app will receive notification if they are in an evacuation zone and be rerouted. If a user is navigating to a destination within an evacuation zone, Waze users will receive an in-app alert.

Once the hurricane has passed, city and county officials will assess the damage and when it is safe for residents to return. Check your city and county government social media channels for up-to-date information.
