Gov. Ron DeSantis is holding a news conference Tuesday about Florida’s State of Emergency, which was issued due to approaching winter storms.

Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a state of emergency Monday as a winter weather system approaches the state from the Gulf of Mexico.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency ahead of the winter storm forecast to bring snow and ice storms to North Florida this week “to protect the communities, critical infrastructure, and general welfare of Florida.

DeSantis adopted President Donald Trump's "Gulf of America" moniker in Tuesday's emergency declaration over the winter storm warning in effect across Northeast Florida. The declaration, officially titled Executive Order Number 25-13 (Emergency Management-Gulf Winter Weather System), mentions the name within the first paragraph.

“Believe it or not, in the state of Florida, we’re mobilizing snowplows,” DeSantis said. Other vehicles will de-ice roads and crews are taking preventable measures to keep movable bridges from freezing.

An area of ‘low pressure moving across the Gulf of America … will bring widespread impactful winter weather,” the order states.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency ahead of severe winter weather expected for North Florida on Tuesday and into Wednesday.

The Legislature’s resistance harkens back to a time in which lawmakers regularly pushed back against the governor.

Part of a legal description of a boundary line of Dixie County, for instance, says it goes "southerly down the thread of the main stream of said Suwannee River to the Gulf of Mexico; thence along said Gulf of Mexico, including the waters of said gulf within the jurisdiction of the State of Florida, to the mouth of the Steinhatchee River."

The governor wants legislators to act quickly, pinning the need for urgency to the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
