The city of Miami Beach will be opening two sandbag distribution sites for residents Saturday and Sunday.

The locations will be at South Beach (451 Dade Boulevard) and North Beach (80 Street and Collins Avenue parking lot).

Residents going to both locations are required to show proof of residency via government-issued ID or utility bill.

Both locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday until the weather worsens or the sand supply runs out.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a statement Friday night about sending resources to Florida ahead of Hurricane Dorian:

“As Hurricane Dorian continues to gather strength on its path toward the US, we are preparing for every possible scenario and stand ready to assist Florida and any other community impacted by the storm.

“… We are deploying an Incident Management Team of 26 personnel to Florida, 25 of whom are state employees from a number of agencies.

“The team will depart to Tallahassee on Sunday morning and will be further deployed as needed. State police remain on standby with equipment and supplies secured and ready to be packed into trucks if they are requested.

“We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will do everything we can to help during these difficult times. To our friends and neighbors in Florida: stay safe.”

Martin County officials announced mandatory evacuations will begin at 10 a.m. ET Sunday.

Evacuation shelters will open Sunday at 10 a.m., according to a county press release.

The evacuation applies to residents on barrier islands, Sewall’s Point and manufactured/mobile homes as well as homes in low-lying areas.

“Residents are strongly urged to follow the evacuation order,” the release said.

The county said additional evacuations may be announced as the situation changes.

Chevron is evacuating nonessential personnel from oil production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, according to a statement from the company:

“Nonessential personnel are being evacuated from our Petronius and Blind Faith facilities, but production from all Chevron-operated Gulf of Mexico assets remains at normal levels. 

As part of our hurricane preparedness procedures, we have a fuel supply strategy team monitoring inventory availability by location, scheduling and staging resupply. Chevron and Texaco stations are independently owned and operated in the US Southeast region. We have been supplying as much fuel as possible in advance of the storm. 

We also proactively communicated that Chevron has a zero-tolerance policy for unlawful price gouging, which goes directly against our values as a company. While we are not able to control the pricing of individually owned and operated facilities, our branded fuel supply agreements do require that station owners and/or operators comply with all laws during a State of Emergency. 

The Chevron Pascagoula refinery in Mississippi is currently following hurricane procedures and paying close attention to the track and forecast of the storm.”

Martin County officials told reporters they plan to issue a mandatory evacuation order at 10 a.m. Sunday if Hurricane Dorian stays on track.

Martin County is on Florida’s eastern coast just south of Port St. Lucie.

Fire Services Chief Bill Schobel said that the evacuation plan depends on how the storm develops, pointing out that Hurricane Dorian has significantly changed course multiple times in the last 24 hours and so it depends on what happens in the next 72 hours.

“If we have to regroup and change the mandatory evacuation times, we’ll do that. The last thing we want to do is dislocate people unnecessarily,” Sheriff William Snyder said, “We’re going to follow God’s script. Wherever that hurricane goes, we’re going to adjust accordingly.”

St. Lucie County officials warned residents to watch out for crimes of opportunity as the hurricane approaches. Officials said that anyone who is arrested for a crime of opportunity during the storm will be held without bail.

Officials warned residents to shelter in place in their homes, if they can. The county said that they will have shelters available but want to make sure that those that evacuate their homes get access to the shelters. Currently, there are no evacuations in the county, but officials are warning residents to be ready in case an evacuation is ordered.

Walt Disney World Communications released a statement Friday about their operations as Hurricane Dorian approaches:

“Walt Disney World Resort is operating under normal conditions. We are closely monitoring the path of the projected weather, as nothing is more important than the safety of our guests and Cast Members. We are taking precautions including canceling weekend sporting events and closing Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park on Sunday. We are also contacting guests with current and upcoming reservations at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, Copper Creek Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Treehouse Villas at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa and the Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to plan for anticipated weather impacts.”

Orlando International Airport will cease commercial flight operations on Monday, September 2, at 2 a.m., according to a press release from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.

“Hurricane Dorian has strengthened and slowed. Our plan currently is to run full operations through Sunday,” said Phil Brown, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority chief. “We don’t know exactly where Dorian is going but we do know that it will have a significant impact on the entire state of Florida. So in order to allow the airport’s 25 thousand employees time to secure their homes and families we feel it is prudent to cease operations in a timely fashion.”

A hurricane warning is in effect for the northwestern Bahamas, according to a 5 p.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

A hurricane watch is in effect for Andros Island.

Bahamian Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said at a press conference in Nassau that evacuation orders have been issued for multiple locations.

CNN has previously reported that the Minnis ordered emergency evacuations for residents from the northern Keys of Abaco to mainland Abaco.

Additional evacuation orders have been issued for parts of Grand Bahama island. Grand Bahama is divided into the districts of East Grand Bahama and West Grand Bahama, as well as the Freeport Bonded Area.

In East Grand Bahama, the following settlements must evacuate: Sweeting’s Cay, Water Cay, Gold Rock Creek North and South, Freetown, Pelican Point, Rocky Creek, McLean’s Town, Grand Cay, Deep Water Cay, and Queen’s Cove.

In West Grand Bahama, evacuations have been ordered for the settlements of West End, Bottle Bay and Bahama Beach.

The Florida attorney general’s office says it has received more than 1,000 calls of alleged price gouging, with most of the reports concerning bottled water and gas.

The most credible allegations are handled immediately by a rapid response team in the field or consumer protection investigators, according to the attorney general’s office.
