Florida residents are encouraged during hurricane season to know if they live an evacuation zone, which often includes low-lying, flood-prone areas, mobile homes or unsafe structures.
Though South Florida is not currently in the cone of Hurricane Milton, which has grown into a Category 5 storm and is expected to make landfall Wednesday in Tampa, its rains and winds could flood roads and bring tornado threats.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced voluntary evacuations for mobile home parks on Monday.
Evacuation zones rage from A to F and typically, Zone A is most vulnerable and most likely to be evacuated first, and Zone F is most likely to be evacuated last.
