There are public resources being mobilized in the Tampa Bay area to help people evacuate. I want this thread to be a place to collect information to help people weathering the storm. Further down in the body of this post I will link some of the resources I have already found.

There was another thread, which I won't be linking here, in which a lot of users were saying that no resources are available to help the poor, disabled, etc. evacuate as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida's Tampa Bay area.

Short rant regarding the doomposting I saw:

spoiler"No investigation, no right to speak."

I don't want to downplay the many failures of the people have to live in, but doomposting about there being no help available at all when that is not the case risks getting people killed.

When these systems fail, criticism is fully warranted. But no one was posting about how they or someone they know had tried to use these resources unsuccessfully. Instead, it seems like there was a collective assumption made about no services being available at all, and without investigation! This is incredibly irresponsible. Double-check yourself before making claims, especially about important matters.

General information on the storm for some of the counties near where the storm will likely have the greatest storm surge

The current estimate (as of 5PM EDT from the National Hurricane Center) is 10-15 feet of storm surge in these counties

Information for those in the above counties in need of transportation assistance to get to shelters
