Hurricanes and other significant weather events are a common occurrence in Southwest Florida.  The hurricane season is defined as running from June 1 through November 30. Most severe storms hit during the peak season between late August and October.  While tornados can occur at any time during the year, they are most likely to occur during the hurricane season. The results of a hurricane or tornado can be catastrophic.  There is often loss of power, significant flooding and massive damage to trees and vegetation.

 

The occurrence of any one of these elements can have a major negative impact on our community.  While the community cannot avoid these negative consequences, a proper plan and organized response can certainly mitigate the extent of the disruptions.
