In preparation for the 2006 Hurricane Season, Lee County Emergency Management encourages all homeowners to remove coconuts from your palm trees as in heavy winds they can easily become projectiles that can cause severe and expensive damage. Other items to be sure to remove and/or store before June 1 st include lawn furniture, planters, pool toys and similar outdoor items.
Also, please monitor the storm drains in the street in front of your home in Reflection Lakes to be sure it is always clear of debris before a storm. After the storm has safely passed, drains should be cleared again to remove any storm debris and standing water.
