Polk County Emergency Services
Members of Polk County Board of County Commissioners leadership team, led by Emergency Management Director Paul Womble, are working around the clock to make sure Polk County is ready for Hurricane Idalia’s arrival. The team is at the Emergency Operations Center, gathering and sharing information to keep the county’s residents safe. Right now, residents are encouraged to sign up for AlertPolk (www.alertpolk.com) and to bring in any outdoor items that could act as projectiles in the wind. Additionally, sandbag sites are open until 3 p.m. today.
