Florida Highway Patrol troopers are currently providing escorts to tankers transporting fuel to gas stations along evacuation routes, as announced by Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday. This proactive measure aims to expedite the delivery of fuel to its intended destinations.
The decision to have troopers accompany the tankers is part of the state's efforts to ensure a smooth and efficient evacuation process in the event of an emergency. By facilitating the swift movement of fuel trucks, authorities are working to prevent potential fuel shortages and alleviate any disruptions in fuel supply during critical times.
