Be Prepared For Hurricane Season
Residents enjoyed a very informative hurricane preparedness seminar. NBC2’s Allyson Rae joined Greg Firth from Fireservice and Amy Howard from Collier County Bureau of Emergency Services Each had some interesting facts and helpful insights, all stormrelated. This year, the mapping cones will look slightly different and have more colors. Allyson shared graphs indicating earlier and more powerful storms based on water temperature, wind, and La Niña. We were reminded that you don’t have to go too far to be inland enough to avoid storm surge; we can hide from wind, not water. Radios will work before, during, and after the storm, even if power and Internet are down. Since the storm can change instantly, it is never a good time to be complacent. We were given resource lists and information on how to sign up and receive emergency notifications from Collier County. Speakers stressed that now is the time to plan and get your supplies together. Everyone advised against staying, as a life is not replaceable, but property is.
