As Helene strengthens in the Gulf of Mexico and eyes landfall in Florida as a major hurricane, Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to address the state many times in regards to preparation and safety.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on Monday in anticipation of Hurricane Helene’s landfall later this week.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that every county outside of those in southeast Florida are included in the emergency order, which allows state officials to make resources available to communities ahead of any potential storm impacts.
