For those who have evacuate to areas outside of city limits that have not yet been deemed safe for travel, residents are advised to use extreme caution when driving.

The City of Tampa has begun a thorough assessment of damage and infrastructure following Hurricane Milton. Due to the severity of the storm, certain areas of the city more directly impacted have not yet been deemed safe and are currently restricted to public access. These restrictions are in place to protect the public and expedite the restoration process.

To provide timely updates on the status of the city and to inform residents of any travel restrictions or closures, a dedicated webpage has been created. This website will be continuously updated with information regarding safe areas, restricted access zones, and the progress of recovery efforts.

"Our safety efforts do not end just because Milton has passed," said Mayor Jane Castor. "The primary focus for our city, right now, is to conduct a swift and efficient damage assessment so we can get everyone back to their homes quickly, and most importantly, to get them home safely."

We appreciate the continued patience and cooperation of everyone in our city. The safety of our residents is our top priority, and we are working diligently to restore essential services and ensure that our city is safe for everyone.
