Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Due to the rapid intensification and heavy rainfall and flooding expected with Hurricane Milton, the City of Marco Island is issuing a Voluntary Evacuation for residents of Marco Island and Goodland.  The rainfall over the next few days combined with tides and storm surge from Hurricane Milton present a serious flood risk to our area.  While Collier County has not yet announced shelter openings, residents in low-lying areas are urged to prepare their homes and move to higher ground by Tuesday afternoon. 

Take action now to ensure your safety. A voluntary evacuation is in effect for Marco Island and Goodland.  All of Marco Island and Goodland are in Zone A for Collier County flood zones. Continue to watch local news and follow Marco Island updates as this storm develops, and be ready in the event of a Mandatory Evacuation of Zone A.
