If price gouging is a concern
During a declared state of emergency due to a storm, state law prevents significant price hikes on essential items like food, water, gasoline, hotel rooms, ice, lumber, and equipment that are needed because of the weather situation.
If you see price gouging, you can report it to the Florida Attorney General’s Office by going to MyFloridaLegal.com or by calling 866-9NO-SCAM.
