FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — Flagler County officials are urging residents who live along the coast and in low-lying areas to prepare to evacuate Sunday morning as Hurricane Dorian inches toward the coast.
Flageler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said residents who live in evacuation zones A, B, C and F, as well as in mobile homes or low-lying areas, should be ready to leave Sunday morning.
"Some uncertainty still exists in the track the storm takes, but we remain at risk for severe impacts for our area," Lord said. "We need everyone to be prepared, but especially those in the coastal area, near the Intracoastal, and out west near Crescent and Dead lakes. Evacuations always include people in mobile homes, and low areas that are flood prone."
