We are under mandatory evacuation. It isn't all of St. Pete, just certain areas near the water. I don't think that means they come knocking on doors moving people out. It's more of a government formality.
There are rumors about having to get official permits to go into a mandatory evacuation zone. We will be leaving one zone but going into another. After googling it seems that it means you need permits to get back in AFTER the storm. I think because of looting. I believe if you have a valid driver's license with you address on it you'll be fine.
Does the government help out in any way - with a place to stay, or funding, or transit? How soon will you be able to go back home?
Hopefully there's still time for the storm to take a different path, and it moves in a different direction, out of the way of your guys home
Best of luck with all the preparation for the evacuation!
