The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has announced a new initiative to assist residents in need of evacuation. FDEM has partnered with Uber to provide free rides to and from state-approved shelters for Floridians in affected counties.
To take advantage of this service, residents can follow these simple steps:
- Open the Uber app.
- Tap on “Account” at the bottom right corner and select “Wallet.”
- Add the promo code MILTONRELIEF.
This program aims to ease transportation barriers for those seeking safety as the storm approaches. For those needing shelter, a comprehensive list of state-approved locations can be found at FloridaDisaster.org/Shelter-Status.
