Sunday update from Lee County EOC


Don’t return to your neighborhoods immediately after the storm.

There will be many dangers during the daytime that first responders, public works, and debris management workers will have to assess and clear. This effort starts as soon as it is safe to get these crews on the road.

County officials will communicate when it is safe to return to your neighborhoods. We hope to have our first assessments done Monday afternoon. These will be shared with the media, and on our website, leeeoc.com.

The Emergency Operations Center works with utilities, like power, water, and sewers, and helps communicate disruptions.

Most of the county remains without power, including traffic signals.

The curfew is meant to protect you from dangers that may not be evident during the daylight. The curfew in effect is from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Avoid the urge to immediately leave your shelter and return to your neighborhoods.
