Local State of Emergency Declared in Preparation of Isaias’ Arrival
BREVARD COUNTY, FL. — A Local State of Emergency has been declared for Brevard County today (Friday, July 31) in response to the pending threat of Hurricane Isaias, which is slowly edging toward Florida with a projected impact along the east coast starting Saturday morning through late Sunday evening as a Category 1 hurricane.
Brevard County is currently under a hurricane watch. The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center projects the center of Isaias just off the coast, but Brevard County could still see 3-5 inches of rain and winds and wind gusts between 40 and 70 mph.
