"We want people to be able to get around but we don't want to see these accidents or anyone be put in danger,” said DeSantis.
On Tuesday, the governor will give his third storm update. He then plans to set up points of distribution, or PODs, in affected areas to ensure residents have access to food, water, and shower trailers.
DeSantis will be out visiting the pods Jefferson, Taylor, and Dixie counties, as the storm moves eastward.
