With power outages imminent for nearly all of Florida’s east coast, here’s a few ways to stay safe and informed:

  • The Florida Public Radio Emergency Network works with 13 public radio stations to give real-time information and updates about weather hazards to 99 percent of Florida’s population. Public FM dials are located between 88MHz and 92MHz, and the app is available free in the Apple App Store.
  • Text FLPREPARES to 888777 for updates from the State Emergency Response team
  • Text GETFIRST to 90999 for immediate access to information on common first aid emergencies.
  • Text GETCANE to 90999 for information on hurricane conditions and to let others know you’re safe when the power goes out.
  • Call 800-342-23558 to reach the Florida Emergency Information Line, where you can receive accurate, up-to-date information on disasters in Florida.
  • Sign up here, to receive emergency and public safety alerts in your community.
