Prep Week Starts

Hurricane Preparedness Week runs from May 3 through May 9, and Hillsborough County is urging residents to use the week well before the June 1 start of hurricane season. The county is encouraging neighbors to learn their evacuation and flood zones, make a household plan, build a disaster supply kit, and sign up for emergency alerts. For Gibsonton, where flooding and storm surge are real concerns, this is one of the most practical community reminders of the month.
