As Floridians, we’re all too familiar with the threat of hurricanes. While we are fortunate that impacts from Hurricane Helene were minimal in our region, I’m incredibly proud of our community’s preparedness.

Together, we stayed informed, took necessary precautions, and demonstrated the resilience that defines Orlando. We were ready for the worst, and I’m grateful that our efforts weren’t put to the ultimate test.

Our hearts go out to those that experienced the full force of the storm. This includes the contributions of the Orlando Fire Department firefighters who are traveling to Sarasota County to assist in search and rescue efforts.

Thank you for playing an active role in our preparedness efforts.

Sincerely,

Post-Helene Updates
