Broward County Mayor Mark Bogen said a local state of emergency in Broward County will be declared this afternoon.
Declaring a local state of emergency, Bogen said, allows for local officials to call for an evacuation order and declare curfews, if needed.
Bogen said no evacuation orders have been announced at this time, and county officials continue to monitor closely Dorian’s track.
All school events in Broward County have been canceled Saturday through Monday, according to Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie.
Runcie said the school district would continue to amend/ update any potential closures for next week.
