URGENT: Hurricane Michael Phone Zap - Mutual Aid Disaster Relief



Hurricane Michael, now a Category 4, is slated to be the worst hurricane to hit Florida in over 100 years and the the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) refuses to evacuate 15 state prisons in mandatory evacuation zones.

We need your help putting pressure on each state to ensure the horrors that happened at FCI Beaumont during Hurricane Harvey don’t happen again. This tactic proved effective just last month when North Carolina and Virginia evacuated prisons ahead of Hurricane Florence!

Demands-

1. Immediate evacuation of all prisoners from every State Prison in the Mandatory Evacuation zone.
2. Stockpiling of Water and Food at every facility that may be impacted by power outages.

Numbers to Call-
FDC Region 1 Director Angela Gordon(angela.gordon@fdc.myflorida.com)

Phone – (850) 627-5511

FDC Region 2 Director Eric V. Hummel(erich.hummel@fdc.myflorida.com)

Phone – (386) 496-6000

Federal Bureau of Prisons

Southeastern Regional Office- (678) 686-1200

No word on: FCI Marianna, FPC Pensacola, FCI Tallahassee

When you get a response use #EvacuateFLPrisoners and tweet @FightToxicPrisons & @iwoc_gnv! Numbers aren’t working? Tweet us with number updates too!

If you can, record the phone call and email it to us. If it turns out they’re lying, we’ll have voice-recorded evidence. (Email FightToxicPrisons@gmail.com)

Also, we don’t trust ANY Department of Corrections. Per Jailhouse Lawyers Speak’s advice, “If you know any prisoners in this storm path, it’s important to tell them to fill up any containers or bags with water NOW!!Prisons are notorious for not giving adequate drinking water to prisoners if any at all after the water is contaminated.”

Damn! Just when people thought it was all over with Hurricane Florence in September...THIS! Stay safe everyone!

 

What a strong storm! We need (by we I mean the government) needs to start creating a better power grid and underground systems so power doesn’t go out for weeks. Wtf?

 

hard to carry large transmission line over a distance under ground, sub transmission lines are easier to find over ground when downed as well.

 

This is going to roll right through my sister's 'hood

 

She isnt evacuating?

 

Nope. She never does.

She claims she is far enough inland that she'll be fine. She's just expecting lots of rain and wind.

 

Per @NHC_Atlantic, #Hurricane #Michael made landfall just NW of Mexico Beach, FL. Max sustained winds were an astounding 155 MPH, just 1 MPH shy of Cat. 5 status. Pressure was 919 MB (27.41").

 

155 mph? good lord. stay safe florida dudes

 

Yes, with gusts to 184 mph.

Storm chasers abandon truck in flood during live stream in Hurricane Michael

 

No. Everything is fine here so far.

 

sneaky motherfuckering storm. really not cool the lack of early warning. I saw it a week ago, figured it went Yucatan, can't pay attention to every detail .

 

It went from Cat. 1 to Cat. 4 in 72 hours.

 

Warm Gulf water...
