BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Brevard County officials delayed the mandatory evacuation for some residents to Monday morning.
Brevard County Emergency Management officials said those living in mobile and manufactured homes, low-lying flood prone areas, those living on the barrier islands and anyone with a disability will need to evacuate by 8 a.m. Monday. Originally, the county had had planned on putting the evacuation order into place Sunday morning.
The county is bracing for wind and rain, but nobody knows just how serious the conditions will be.
Residents and authorities are doing what they can to prepare for Hurricane Dorian.

Residents living in mobile home parks should be prepared for possible storm surge.
In 2017, parts of the coast were heavily damaged by Hurricane Irma.
Boats were tossed, tornadoes destroyed homes and buildings were beat up by powerful winds.
The River Palms mobile home park along the Banana River was damaged by Hurricane Irma two years ago.
Residents including Kevin Luttrell were left with no roofs and homes full of water.
Luttrell was able to rebuild, and today it looks like the River Palms mobile home park wasn't even damaged.
But now that the coast is facing a major storm, residents are living in uncertainty and wondering what could happen next.
Cocoa Beach resident Chris Gozevich had to replace his roof twice after Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Matthew.
"Hopefully, it stays on for this one, but you know, crossing our fingers."
