SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Hurricane Milton is now a major Category 4 hurricane, and is
expected to continue to intensify over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
over the next 24 hours. It is forecast to remain at or near major
hurricane strength as it approaches the west coast of Florida later
this week.

The following are the primary hazards of concern with Hurricane Milton
for South Florida:

* Storm Surge - There is an increasing risk of dangerous storm surge
for portions of the Florida Gulf Coast. 4 to 7 feet of storm surge
over portions of coastal Collier County and 3 to 5 feet over portions
of Mainland Monroe County Wednesday night into Thursday.

* Rainfall - Heavy rainfall leading to possible flooding is expected
across South Florida through much of this week. 4-6 inches of
additional rainfall is possible through Saturday with highest totals
across coastal Southwest Florida. Isolated areas could see up to
10 inches with the heavier rain . A Flood Watch is in effect for the
entire area through Thursday morning.

* Wind - The highest probabilities for sustained hurricane and
tropical storm force winds will be along the Gulf coast of Southwest
Florida, including Glades, Hendry and Collier, and adjacent Gulf
waters. Tropical storm force winds are also possible across the rest
of South Florida, including the Atlantic coast and adjacent Atlantic
waters, especially in conjunction with Milton`s rainbands.

* Tornadoes - An isolated tornado threat associated with Milton may
develop Tuesday night into Wednesday with a focus across portions of
the western Florida Peninsula.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SURGE:
Prepare for life-threatening surge having possible extensive impacts
across coastal Southwest Florida. Potential impacts in this area
include:
    - Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding
      accentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to buildings,
      with several washing away. Damage compounded by floating
      debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an extended period.
    - Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads
      washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems and
      barriers may become stressed.
    - Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss.
    - Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many
      small craft broken away from moorings, especially in
      unprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and stranded.

Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated.

* WIND:
Prepare for life-threatening wind having possible extensive impacts
across southwest Florida and Lake Okeechobee. Potential impacts in this area
include:
    - Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some having
      window, door, and garage door failures leading to structural
      damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some destroyed.
      Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles. Locations may be
      uninhabitable for weeks.
    - Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and
      roadway signs blown over.
    - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
      or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways, and
      access routes impassable.
    - Large areas with power and communications outages.

Also, prepare for dangerous wind having possible limited to
significant impacts across interior South Florida.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Prepare for life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across metro southeast and southwest Florida. Potential
impacts include:
    - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    - Ditches and canals may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple
      places. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
      away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
      Streets, parking lots and underpasses become submerged. Driving
      conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with
      some weakened or washed out.

Prepare for dangerous rainfAlways heed the advice of local officials and comply with orders that
are issued. Do not needlessly jeopardize your life or the lives of
others.

When securing your property, outside preparations should be concluded
as soon as possible before conditions deteriorate. The onset of
strong gusty winds or flooding can cause certain preparedness
activities to become unsafe.all flooding having possible significant
impacts across the rest of South Florida.

* TORNADOES:
Prepare for a tornado event having possible limited impacts across
South Florida. Potential impacts include:
    - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution
      of emergency plans during tropical events.
    - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power
      and communications disruptions.
    - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, mobile
      homes pushed off foundations or overturned, large tree tops and
      branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving
      vehicles blown off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies
kit and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your
home or business.

When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the
exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging
wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the
center of the storm.

If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as
near the ocean or a large inland lake, in a low-lying or poor
drainage area, in a valley, or near an already swollen river, plan to
move to safe shelter on higher ground.
