Officials urged people in low-lying areas of Escambia County to evacuate today as a rainy, strengthening Tropical Storm Arlene headed for a weekend landfall on the northern Gulf Coast, an area still recovering from Hurricane Ivan nine months ago.

Six hurricane shelters were being opened in the Florida Panhandle.

The voluntary evacuation also applies to mobile homes, manufactured housing and travel trailers such as those provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to Ivan's victims who are waiting for their homes to be repaired or rebuilt.
