On November 2, 2026, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued an emergency declaration for seven counties in the central and southern regions of the state. This action followed severe rainfall and flooding caused by a low-pressure system that crossed the Florida peninsula between October 31 and November 2. The declaration, formalized through Executive Order 26-227, enables the allocation of extraordinary resources and expedites recovery efforts.
