"As many residents already know, the ongoing construction on State Road 200 from the Intracoastal waterway to I-95 has complicated the flow of traffic during normal business hours. This construction is expected to have the same effect on the evacuation process.  With this in mind, if you are capable of evacuating before 8 a.m. please do so help traffic congestion," Greg Foster with the Nassau County Sheriff's Office said.

Foster said shelters are opening Monday morning at 8 a.m. Hilliard Elementary will serve as a general population shelter. Hilliard Middle Senior High will serve as the shelter for those with special medical needs. Callahan Middle School is a pet friendly shelter.

Transportation will be provided. That information will be provided later today, once all final arrangements have been made.
