Hurricane Matthew is forecasted to make landfall along Florida's eastern coast between Thursday night and Friday night as a Category 4 storm while moving northward toward South Carolina.
The National Weather Service is issuing stern warnings that the storm could cause widespread destruction along the Florida coast.
The hurricane already struck Haiti and then moved toward the Bahamas.
Airbnb has in the past partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to offer its hosts in hurricane-prone regions information on what to do if a hurricane hits.
