NOTE: Map attached that shows areas prone to flooding

Voluntarily evacuate manufactured homes and flood-prone areas

Polk County, Fla. (September 8, 2017) — Polk County public shelters will be opening at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8. Polk County residents who live in manufactured and mobile homes, or in areas of the county that historically are prone to flooding following heavy rains, are strongly recommended to take advantage of open shelters during Hurricane Irma.

“We have been saying for several days that Hurricane Irma is a storm stronger than Floridians have seen since Hurricane Andrew,” said Emergency Management Director Pete McNally. “With category 3 or 4 strength winds, and rainfall predicted to be more than eight inches, we are encouraging residents to voluntarily evacuate to one of our shelter facilities.”

Public shelters will be opening at 7 a.m. on Saturday, September 9. They include:
