Lee County is a wonderful place to work and play. Few places have weather as mild, sunny and ideal for outdoor recreation. However, this setting can change very quickly when natural or man-made hazards threaten our area. Hurricanes, water shortages and wildfires are threats we must deal with. The terrible events of September 11, 2001 also brought home the harsh reality of the world we now live in.

The hazards we face in Southwest Florida are as much a part of our lives as driving to work, walking on the beach or surviving another winter tourist season. Most of us realize the importance of preparing for the more significant hazards such as hurricanes. But when they occur, the consequences can still be devastating if we have not properly prepared to protect our lives and property.

The All Hazards Guide is published to help you prepare your family and your property for a number of potentially significant hazards. Prepare yourself, your family and your property to survive before some univited hazard comes to pay a call.
