Follow up with your family, friends & neighbors today. They may need help! Flooding & strong wind are still a concern today. BE SAFE! #Irma📱

After storms, be alert to wildlife—snakes, alligators, etc. may have been displaced as a result of strong winds or rain. #Irma

[FL Division of Emergency Management @FLSERT]

If you see a downed power line, assume it is live and contact the utility. Do not try to handle it yourself.

[FL Division of Emergency Management @FLSERT]

Turn off/disconnect appliances you were using when the power went out. When power comes back, surges/spikes can damage equipment #FLRespon

[FL Division of Emergency Management @FLSERT]

Check county government or emergency webpages to see if it is safe before returning to your home.

When a flood or flash flood warning is issued in your area, head for higher ground and stay there – don’t go near floodwaters!
