PASCO COUNTY, Fla. – Pasco County officials are urging you to stay home, stay in your shelter and stay off the roads. 

If your home is flooding, please turn off the power, call 911, and our emergency crews will respond as quickly as we can.

Powerful storm surge and tropical storm force winds will continue to impact Pasco County through Wednesday afternoon. 

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO VENTURE OUTSIDE, unless your home is flooding, and you need to get to safety.

“Our 911 center is receiving numerous calls about flooding.  Our first responders are rescuing people from flooded homes and from cars trapped in flooded streets.  Staying out of harm’s way is the best way to protect yourself and your community,” said Pasco County.

Key Information:

  • Stay Indoors – away from windows and doors.  Seek shelter in the innermost part of your home, preferably a small, windowless room, until the severe weather threat has passed.
  • Avoid Unnecessary Travel unless absolutely necessary.  Roads may be flooded or blocked by downed trees, debris or power lines.
  • Stay Informed – monitor a battery-powered or hand-crank weather radio, local news outlets and official Pasco County social media channels for the latest information.
  • Emergency Calls – if your life is in danger, call or text 911.
  • For general information and questions, call Pasco Customer Service at 727-847-2411.

Pasco County is coordinating response efforts with local, state and federal agencies.  Your safety is our top priority, and we strongly advise following these guidelines to protect yourself, your family and your neighbors until the dangerous weather has passed.
