CITY OF SUNRISE
WITH SUNRISE FIRE RESCUE
sunrisefl.gov/hurricane
As we approach the 2026 hurricane season, which officially begins June 1 and runs through November 30 , I want to take a moment to remind our Sunrise community that preparedness is our strongest defense. Living in Broward County means we are no strangers to tropical storms and hurricanes. While we cannot control the path or strength of a storm, we can control how prepared we are before it arrives. Each of you should have a emergency supply kit ready before a storm is imminent. At a minimum, this kit should include: one gallon of water per person per day, for at least seven days, non-perishable food, a manual can opener, flashlights, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, necessary medications, important documents in a waterproof container, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, and supplies for infants, seniors, or pets. Don’t forget to fuel vehicles in advance and make sure generators are used safely, outdoors only. Plan ahead so you do not get stuck waiting in long lines. Preparation also means securing your home - inspect shutters, trim trees and secure outdoor items. Waiting until a storm is approaching means limited time to get these things done. So now is the time! The City of Sunrise is recognized as a “ Storm-Ready City, ” and Sunrise Fire Rescue stands ready to serve you, but personal preparedness saves lives and reduces risk.
