Important Announcements for Okeechobee County:

• The Okeechobee County Board of County Commissioners convened an emergency session Friday, July 31, at 8:30 a.m. and adopted a Local State of Emergency for Okeechobee County to begin Friday, July 31, at 8 a.m. and continue for the next seven days.

• Okeechobee County Emergency Operations Center advised that the county remains at a partial Level 2 activation.

• County emergency officials continue to monitor Hurricane Isaias. Lake Okeechobee is currently under a tropical storm watch; however, the county currently is not.

The county continues to participate in calls with local and state partners, as well as community partners, and will be providing status updates as necessary.

• All citizens should pay attention and monitor the local weather stations; and check your storm supply kits to be prepared! Go to https://www.ready.gov/kit to build your kit if you do not have one. With the COVID19 pandemic, you should also include in your kit, soap, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.
