water_bottles_2Hurricane Season lasts six months:  June 1 – November 30. Every household should have a family emergency plan.

There are a number of things you may do to prepare before the season starts and, hopefully, you will not need to use them.

In case of an emergency, always call 911.

Everyone should have an emergency supply kit for your family and pets, with enough supplies to last at least 3 days without power.

To report a power outage, call Florida Power & Light at 1-800-468-8243.

If you are unable to resolve your situation, contact the Village at 239-221-5035.

The county’s All Hazards Guide outlines storm preparations and is available.

Estero Fire Rescue, 21500 Three Oaks Parkway, will have sand bags available for those who need them.

Shelters

Emergency Shelters open when determined by Emergency Management officials. Not all shelters are always opened. Local radio and TV stations will announce which shelters are open at the time of a storm. Pet-friendly shelters will be available for every storm, although locations may vary. No registration is required. Visit www.leegov.com/storm for the latest information at the time of a storm event.  For a complete list of emergency shelters, click HERE.
