Bottled water shortages were also reported at Publix stores in the Miami area. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, in declaring a state of emergency in a number of countries in the region, advised every resident to “have seven days of supplies, including food, water and medicine, and … a plan in case of disaster.”
