Hurricane Milton Preparation Reminders

Post Date:10/08/2024 9:26 AM

Please make final preparations today for the arrival of Hurricane Milton:

  • Turn off automatic sprinklers. This will help reduce the amount of water going into the stormwater drains and will help prevent flooding. 
  • Never stack tree trimmings, yard debris or any kind of trash on top of a stormwater inlet. These can wash into and clog the inlet, which could cause flooding on your street.
  • Remove any loose objects that aren’t secured to the ground.
  • Put lawn furniture into the garage and take decorations inside. Even trampolines can catch a strong wind and destroy your fence
  • Be sure to remove any flags or small flag poles — these can be especially dangerous. Remove all portable signs, flags and banners
  • Check for and remove trash and yard debris on the ground that could get caught up in high winds and inflict injury to people or damage property. This sort of debris could also get caught up in storm drains and canals and increase the potential for flooding.
