Hurricane Preparedness
There’s no doubt about it—southwest Florida is a tropical paradise. Even so, hurricanes are a very real occurrence. They can cause undue anxiety and worry, and can cause damage to the local environment, our community, and our homes. That said, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with contact information and preparedness tips.
