Volusia County Fire Rescue and the Volusia Sheriff's Office strongly urge the community to avoid non-essential travel following Hurricane Milton. Many roads throughout the county remain hazardous, cluttered with debris, and obstructed by standing water. These conditions pose significant risks to public safety and can impede the efforts of emergency and recovery teams working diligently to clear and secure roadways.

Officials will make a public announcement when road conditions have improved sufficiently to make travel safe again. The Citizens Information Center (CIC) is open 24/7 until further notice. Residents can reach the CIC at 866-345-0345. Residents can stay updated by downloading the Volusia Emergency Management app, following the County's social media channels, or visiting www.volusia.org.
