The timelines for certain guidelines and procedures expressed herein assume that sufficient notice of a potential tropical storm or hurricane is given so that such guidelines and procedures may be utilized, which may or may not be the circumstance with any given tropical storm or hurricane. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person who fails to comply with any order, directive, notice, or other communication issued pursuant to this Chapter may be subject to the penalties set forth in Rule 35.11 of this Chapter.
