    Citrus County you need to be prepared in the event of a storm approaching our area. The following information should help you prepare in advance of what you need to do. Prepare Now and stay safe.

     


    check markDiscuss the type of hazards that could affect your family. Know your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind.

    check markLocate a safe room or the safest areas in your home for each hurricane hazard. In certain circumstances the safest areas may not be your home but within your community.

    check markDetermine escape routes from your home and places to meet. These should be measured in tens of miles rather than hundreds of miles.
