Hurricane Milton Advisory: Broward County is now under a tropical storm warning

Residents,

Broward County is now under a tropical storm warning, and flood watches remain in effect throughout Broward County.

What to know:

  • Hurricane Milton is currently a Category 4 storm.
  • Forecasters are saying the storm could weaken back to a Category 3 before it makes landfall Wednesday night, on the west coast of Florida.
Some things you can do:
  • Waste Management - WM continues to pick up bulk and regular trash today and tomorrow, refrain from cutting tree limbs, placing large areas of contractor debris, etc. so that the WM team has ample time to clear the entire City prior to the storm.
  • Drive Carefully - If you must travel, exercise caution and reduce speed. With the possibility of flash flooding, we urge residents to avoid driving through flooded areas.
  • Beware of Hazards - Be mindful of standing water, downed power lines, and fallen trees. Avoid these hazards and report any issues to the police department.
  • Stay Informed - Keep up with local news for updates on weather conditions.
As Hurricane Milton moves closer to the Florida coast, LHPPD will continuously monitor and prepare you for the storm. Additional Nixle alerts will be forthcoming as we are informed of any changes regarding the storm.

Your safety is our top priority. Please take care and stay safe!
 
 

Instructions:

Drive carefully. Beware of hazards. Stay informed. Report any issues to the police department.
