Letter to Governor: Florida Keys - Please Don't Increase Our Hurricane Vulnerability

We write to you on behalf of our thousands of members in the Florida Keys about unsafehurricane evacuation. We need your help. There is only one road out of the Keys to escape a hurricane.Too many cars on the road trying to evacuate create a terrible safety risk. This causes many residentsnot to evacuate, yet the single evacuation route is still highly congested. And that makes it verydangerous. Rapid intensification or a simple wobble in the hurricane path further increases the numberof last-minute evacuations, adding to the already dangerous congestion on our one-road-to-safety. Andwe see from Hurricane Ian how dangerous it can be for people who don’t or can’t evacuate.
