Based on the Saturday, September 6, forecasts from the National Hurricane Center, the Collier County Emergency Management Department continues to encourage residents to monitor Hurricane Ike closely. At this point there are no evacuations or closures in place for Collier County. The Collier County Emergency Operations Center is monitoring Hurricane Ike around the clock and will advise the public of any changes as soon as they become necessary. While the current predicted storm tracks will possibly spare Collier County of hurricane conditions, it will likely bring tropical storm conditions to Collier County on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It is important for residents to monitor storm updates regularly due to the changing nature of the predicted course of the storm. It is still very possible that Hurricane Ike could strike Collier County and require evacuations and closures.
Persons needing to register with the County’s Special Needs Program may call 239-252-8000 between 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, September 7.
Residents are encouraged to continue their preparations and if they live in an evacuation zone, to review their evacuation plans.
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners will hold a special meeting to discuss Hurricane Ike on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at 1 p.m. in the boardroom located on the third floor of the W. Harmon Turner Building (Administration Building F), Collier County Government Center, 3301 E. Tamiami Trail, Naples.
