Matthew Update

The City is carefully monitoring Hurricane Matthew as the projected path moves it closer to the east coast of Florida. We strongly encourage our residents to take this storm seriously and begin preparations to care for your family and property in the event this major hurricane directly impacts our area. Currently there are no evacuation orders in effect, however, you should take time to become familiar with evacuation routes and shelter locations if evacuating becomes necessary. Secure lawn furniture, potted plants, political signs, lawn debris and other items that may become a hazard in heavy winds, which are likely even if the storm stays off our coast. Currently, the Public Works Department has sand bags, which can be filled at the DeSoto Fields parking lot off DeSoto Boulevard. Please pick up the bags at the Public Works Department (530 Cinnamon Drive). Waste Management will pick up yard waste as usual (special requests for pick up) unless we notify you otherwise. We are not advising you to trim your trees or create piles of yard waste.
