Broward Emergency Management closely monitoring tropical storm Erika

Storm has potential to impact South Florida

The County’s Emergency Management officials are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Erika which still has the potential to impact South Florida. “At this time, Broward County is still in the cone of probability and there is a potential for Erika to intensify over the next four days,” said Miguel Ascarrunz, Director of Broward County Emergency Management.

“At this time, residents and businesses should ensure their emergency plans are in order. Residents should remain vigilant and monitor the media for announcements from the Broward County Emergency Operations Center for any protective actions to be taken should Tropical Storm Erika pose a threat to Broward County.”

There are a number of ways to “stay connected” and receive important information from the Broward County Emergency Operations Center before, during and after an emergency event, including news about tropical storm and/or hurricane watches and warnings, evacuation orders, recommended protective actions and other related public safety information.
