Crews will be positioned at staging sites so they can respond as quickly as possible.
The company is urging customers to prepare by doing the following:
- Don’t trim trees – high winds can turn branches into dangerous, flying debris.
- Follow the advice of federal, state and local authorities. This is especially important for people living in low-lying areas and manufactured homes who may face additional challenges during a severe weather event.
- Customers dependent on electric-powered, life-sustaining medical equipment, should finalize their family emergency plan for backup power.
- Quickly download the FPL app for on-the-go, instant and secure access to your account by texting the word “App” to MyFPL (69375).
