Due to the impending hurricane, City crews are doing all they can to reduce flooding and other hazardous situations throughout the City.
During this time, our Public Safety, Public Works and other crews will be receiving a large call volume so please limit your calls to true emergencies. Work will be prioritized according to the greatest need.
YOU can help:
- Remove litter that will clog the drainage system
- Make sure the storm drains are kept free of debris
- Do not leave your garbage and/or recycling containers out at the road or anyplace where they can be blown around. Notification will be made relative to your sanitation pick up.
- Make sure any unsecured items that can become airborne or end up in the storm sewer system are either properly secured or brought inside. Do not bring unsafe items inside (e.g. propane tanks). Items that end up in the storm sewer such as basketballs, soccer balls, flower arrangements, etc. can cause blockage and potential flooding.
- Please be patient as City crews may be delayed in reaching you due to downed power lines, trees or other issues.
Other:
- Stay away from windows. Flying glass from broken windows could injure you and emergency services may not be able to reach you.
- Turn your refrigerator or freezer to the coldest setting and open only when necessary.
