Your High Springs Fire Department continues to monitor Tropical Storm Idalia.
Here are five things you need to know:
1.) Rain and wind from Idalia are forecast to spread across our area Tuesday afternoon/evening.
2.) It's important to review your emergency preparedness plan and prepare your property, by cleaning up low-hanging limbs, clearing drainage areas if applicable, secure outdoor furniture, etc.
3.) You can sign up for emergency notifications from High Springs officials at HSALERTS.com and Alachua County officials at ALERTALACHUA.com. We encourage you to register for both!
4.) Shifts in the storm track and severity of local impacts are subject to change. Continue to monitor future forecasts from official sources, such as hurricanes.gov and weather.gov/jax.
5.) A calm approach is best. Help your neighbors.
