This is the worst storm that the FL Panhandle has seen in over a century. I cannot stress enough, no matter where you are in the Panhandle, it is time to find shelter. See my latest update on Hurricane Michael- bit.ly/2PrH0Jh

Michael is upon us, it is time to seek refuge. Once you are sheltered, STAY PUT. Do not try to leave until the storm has passed. Multiple state and federal resources are staged and ready to respond as soon as it is safe.

Be aware of tornadoes on the outer bands of #Michael. A Tornado Watch is in effect. Seek shelter in an interior room if a tornado warning is issued. #HurricaneMichael #alert

My statement on the passage of America’s Water Infrastructure Act.

Our prayers are with you and all impacted. #Michael

#HurricaneMichael is here, but so are we. Stay safe, Florida. #FloridaFirst #FLNGAlwaysThere

Visited Mexico Beach today with Wilton Simpson George Gainer Doug Broxson and Senator Montford. Amazing to see the spirit and resilience of this community in the midst of such horrible devastation. #FloridaStrong

I was in Calhoun County this afternoon visiting another food and supply distribution center. Nothing is more important than making sure our communities continue to receive the food, water, and resources they need.

The Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) Program is available to Florida businesses and residents whose employment or self-employment was lost or interrupted as a result of Hurricane Michael. To apply for DUA, go to floridajobs.org or call 1-800-385-3920.

We’ve turned on the disaster relief unemployment program through @FLDEO that puts people who have lost their jobs because of the storm back to work in their communities providing relief. It’s a good program designed to help people get back to work. bit.ly/2PakkR7

I want all Florida families to stay safe as they recover from Hurricane Michael. Using a generator indoors is deadly- if you currently have one inside, turn it off immediately and go outside for fresh air.

The Blue Roof Program will help FL families whose roofs are damaged, and enable many of them to stay in their homes until more permanent repairs are made. More information on how to apply- bit.ly/2ykh3Vy

My statement on President Biden signing America’s Water Infrastructure Act. Today’s action is the final approval needed to authorize construction of the $1.6 billion Senate Bill 10 Southern Reservoir, an indispensable component to ending the ruinous discharges from Lake Okeechobee.

Sharing details of services planned to honor former Senator Walter G. "Skip" Campbell. Senator Campbell represented SD 33 from 1996-2002 and SD 32 from 2002-2006. Senator Campbell is survived by his wife, Lynn; and children, Christina and Daniel. Coral Springs, FL

Looking forward to an extra hour of sleep this weekend? Before you fall back, remember to check batteries in your NOAA Weather Radio, smoke detectors, and CO detectors and prepare your home and family for fire and weather. weather.gov #fallback #fallsafety
