Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) sent a letter to President Trump in support of Governor Ron DeSantis’ request to issue a pre-landfall emergency declaration for Alachua, Citrus, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hernando, Hillsborough, Levy, Manatee, Marion, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, and Sumter counties in expectation of Eta.
“The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season has been particularly challenging due to the number and severity of storms, as well as the unique difficulties presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,” the senators wrote. All the while, Floridians work to recover and rebuild from the effects of natural disasters from this season and years prior. Federal resources will be critical to ensuring effective preparation and response to Hurricane Eta. As such, we urge you to approve the State of Florida’s request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration that will provide the assistance necessary to ensure the safety of Floridians and the protection of property.”
