Analyst Comments:

When there is time, Faith-Based Organizations and their members should consider taking actions to prepare for Hurricane Milton. Once evacuation orders are given, individuals should consider evacuation to be the only action to take.  

Once the hurricane has passed, FB-ISAO’s 2 October 2024 Daily Awareness Post  can be referenced to avoid hurricane-related scams.
