Rainy Season/Hurricane Season Preparation
Proactive preparation helps minimize risk for personal safety and property damage during a hurricane or during rising waters due to heavy downpours and sheet flow. Here are some strategies and tips to help with preparation for storms.
- Flood Zones Defined
- Learn your flood zone/flood hazard
- Know the difference between Flood Zones and Evacuation Zones
- Report blocked ditches, swales and canals
- Buy flood insurance
- All Hazards Guide from Lee County
- Get permits before you build
- Choose your flood warning system
- Ask about possible flood protection assistance/advice
The South Florida Water Management District also offers drainage-related tips. Remember, some standing water is normal after rain. Local lakes, ponds, swales, golf courses and even streets are often designed to temporarily collect excess water after heavy rainfall to keep it away from your home.
