Hurricane Milton Update for Sumter County, FL
As Hurricane Milton approaches, residents should review their housing options.
Those in The Villages® community can shelter in place, as homes here are built above the 100-year floodplain and designed to withstand strong winds.
For residents in mobile homes, low-lying areas, or with special needs, we strongly recommend considering evacuation or moving to a shelter when they open.
Important Tips:
• Stay with Friends/Family: If possible, plan to stay with someone in a safer area.
• Early Travel Arrangements: If evacuating, have a destination in mind and make arrangements ahead of time.
• Bring Essentials: Pack necessary items, especially medications.
If a shelter is your only option, please wait for officials to announce when they are open before heading out. For shelter locations and more information, stay tuned to our social media channels or visit
www.sumterprepares.com. You can also call the Citizen Information Center 24/7 at 352-689-4400 for information.
Note: Shelters may not provide cots, blankets, or other supplies, so plan accordingly. All shelters are pet-friendly, but you must bring a crate and supplies for your pet. Stay safe and prepared!
