Debris removal instructions:  Residents are encouraged not to generate any additional unnecessary debris.  Experiences with prior storms have shown that limbs are more sustainable intact on the trees versus as loose debris on the street. 

Situation Encountered:  There is currently uncertainty in the path and strength of Hurricane Dorian but there is high likelihood that our state will be seeing some impact from Hurricane Dorian this weekend.  While it is still too early to determine what direct impacts the storm may have on our community, it is not too soon to prepare.  

Representatives from all City departments are in regular contact regarding the potential impact that Hurricane Dorian could have on our community.  Stormwater and street infrastructure are being assessed to ensure all are functioning as designed.

In preparation for a storm, Volusia County Residents are encouraged to:

• Download Volusia County’s emergency preparedness app. The app includes weather alerts and current conditions, preparedness checklists, links to county sites, shelter status, locations of the nearest open shelter and sandbags, evacuation information, push notifications and more. The app also aids in the damage assessment process as residents can submit damage reports along with picture documentation.  The app is available for download in the Google Play store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocv.volusiacountyema&hl=en  and the App Store at https://appsto.re/us/MBOYib.i

• Create a family preparedness plan, which the app can help you do as it has a checklist of items you’ll need during an emergency. For help creating a personalized family disaster plan, visit http://www.floridadisaster.org.

• Decide now where you will stay if an evacuation order is issued during a hurricane. Arrange to stay with friends or relatives who live well inland if possible. You will be more comfortable there than in a shelter. For those who have no alternatives, Volusia County will set up hurricane shelters at key locations across the county. Again, these shelter locations will be viewable from the emergency preparedness app when they are opened.  

• Consider purchasing flood insurance, which is typically not covered under a homeowners insurance policy.  According to officials, it takes 30 days after purchase for a flood insurance policy to take effect.  Also, if a hurricane is within 500 miles of Florida, flood insurance policies will not be written.  To learn about flood insurance, www.visit floodsmart.gov. The website can help you rate your risk, estimate premiums and find an agent.

• For more information about disaster preparedness, visit www.volusia.org/emergency or call Volusia County Emergency Management at 386-254-1500. Residents should also follow Volusia County Emergency Management on Facebook and Twitter.
