Officials urge residents to know evacuation and flood zones as hurricane season continues
Summary
County officials urged Citrus County residents to prepare for hurricane season by knowing evacuation and flood zones, assembling a three-day emergency kit with water and shelf-stable food, and monitoring official channels including 'Sheriff Citrus' social media and county websites.
Speakers reminded residents that it often only takes a single storm to cause substantial local impacts and urged practical preparedness: know your evacuation and flood zones, assemble an emergency kit with a three-day supply of water and nonperishable food, and monitor official county channels for updates. “Know what your evacuation and your flood zones are,” one agency official said.
Presenters encouraged listeners to follow county emergency management, the sheriff’s office social media accounts identified as 'Sheriff Citrus,' and the county website for authoritative information, and emphasized that forecasts (including an anticipated El Niño influence) do not eliminate the risk from any single damaging storm. Officials advised residents to prepare basic supplies and stay tuned to official alerts during the season.
