The shelter-in-place survey asks for some basic information such as the address where you are, how many people are with you, and if you have any pets or special needs. The main purpose of this survey is to gather information on the demographics of individuals that have made the decision to shelter in place.
This survey will help first responders get information they need to address the needs of impacted households as quickly as possible.
This information does not serve as a guarantee of first responders visiting your home if you are sheltering in place for Hurricane Ian. If you have an emergency, please dial 911 for immediate available assistance.
You may have seen our previous post of the water being sucked out of the Bay this morning. Tampa Bay is expected to get as much as 4 to 6 feet of storm surge from Ian, according to the National Hurricane Center. You can follow the latest updates by clicking here.
Hurricane Ian passed through south Florida Wednesday. Tampa Bay wakes up feeling very lucky with the way this storm shifted after seeing the devastating wreckage of south Florida.
