Hurricane Preparedness
Critical Information

Lee County is fortunate to have a very strong hospitality industry. We must all take a moment to insure that we as an industry are prepared to deal with a major storm or other emergencies that may interrupt our ability to do business. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Jennifer Walla (jwalla@leegov.com) or Charm Evans (Cevans@leegov.com).
To locate your business for evacuation zones, routes, and public shelters, please download the attached document Evacuation Routes/Information. This is a public document and can be distributed to your guests and visitors.
