Following the direction of the Governor and Cabinet, seated as the Administration Commission, a Memorandum of Understanding was drafted to address the input variables and assumptions to depict hurricane evacuation clearance time for the Florida Keys. The draft Memorandum of Understanding was the result of four workshops that were organized by the Department and included representatives from each local government in the Florida Keys, several federal and state agencies such as the National Hurricane Center, Florida Division of Emergency Management, and the South Florida Regional Planning Council, and various members of the Keys communities.
Below is the draft Memorandum of Understanding and associated materials that were sent to each local government.
