As we now know, Erika has become a rainmaker for our area. However, the threat of Erika should serve as a reminder that we need to be prepared in the event another storm (or other natural/manmade disaster) comes our way.

For more information about making a plan please check out www.fema.gov/plan

For more information on joining the Immokalee or Ave Maria CERT teams, please contact Fire Marshal Rodgers at 239-657-2111 or send him an email at [email protected]

Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes so it is important to plan in advance: how you will get to a safe place; how you will contact one another; how you will get back together; and what you will do in different situations. Read more about Family Communication during an emergency.
