00:00I cannot stress enough to all the folks in Florida, in the Tampa area,

00:04please listen to evacuation orders.

00:09Please listen to your local officials.

00:12Because I know a lot of folks out there have survived these hurricanes before.

00:18This one is going to be very, very serious.

00:21And I urge you to please just grab whatever you need.

00:25Listen to the orders you're getting from your local officials.

00:27They know what they're telling you, and they know what Milton is about to be.

00:32So please do that.

00:34The other point I'd make is that there's a lot of mis and

00:37disinformation being pushed out there by the former president

00:41about what is available, in particular to the survivors of Nelene.

00:46And first of all, it's extraordinarily irresponsible.

00:50It's about him, it's not about you.

00:52And the reality is that FEMA has so

00:55many resources that are available to folks who desperately need them.

01:00Now, and resources that are about helping people get back on their feet and

01:05rebuild and have places to go.

01:08You are entitled to these resources.
