Gov. DeSantis expects Surfside mayor to make tower evacuation decision soon

[libertybele]

In my mind, I would think evacuation orders should be implemented until the bldg. has been inspected and deemed safe and habitable. I understand that the mayor wouldn't want to displace people unnecessarily, but under the circumstances I think evacuation orders are prudent -- better safe than sorry.                               

Gov. DeSantis expects Surfside mayor to make tower evacuation decision soon

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced local officials have discussed evacuating the sister building to the Champlain Condos that collapsed this week. DeSantis made those comments during a press conference on Saturday and explained he had spoken with Surfside mayor Charles Burkett regarding the matter.

The Florida governor explained while he hasn’t heard of any known danger regarding the north tower, which stands just 100 yards from the collapsed structure, the move to evacuate would ultimately be up to Burkett. Residents of the north tower have remained there since the collapse as city planners work to determine if an evacuation is necessary........

Of course no matter what happens, the Press will slam DeSantis, it's what they do.
