Florida’s clerks are continuing to process court files and perform other vital services in the wake of Hurricane Ian, assures the head of their statewide organization.

Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers CEO Chris Hart credits a robust disaster recovery and business continuity plan.

“The E-Filing Portal can still accept filings in all courts, 24/7,” he said. “Even if the clerk’s office is closed, those filings are going to be time stamped when they’re filed, and they going to be held in an electronic queue for the clerk.”
