Dear Residents of Lauderhill:
The following was received as an update:
"Ernesto this morning is meandering between Hispaniola and Cuba on a slow northwest track at 12 mph. This morning. Forecast calls for Ernesto to move across Cuba and into the Straits of Florida and then to make landfall Tuesday on the southern tip of the Florida peninsula as a Category 1 hurricane. All interests should make preparatory actions today in anticipation of Ernesto. The Broward EOC will go to Level 2 activation at 8:00 a.m. and will likely go to a Level 1 later on in the day. Additional advisories will be issued as the day progresses."
At this time we are not in a State of Emergency, but it is possible in the next 48 hours. If so, I will be advising the notices sent out. As stated above, you should be preceeding with preparatory actions today. Such items could include, gas, propane gas, water, ice, tarps, making sure you are prepared to use your generator, batteries, flashlights, non refrigerated food, an old style telephone that doesn't require electricity from a plug to operate, a battery operated radio so that you can listen to WQFF 1650 AM (the City of Lauderhill radio station for news), have cash on hand, take care of any banking/bills that may come up in the next 7 days. Though advised to have supplies for 72 hours, my recommendation is for 5 to 7 days. Also, don't forget to vote and get it done with now.
There is the Regular Commission Meeting tonight at City Hall, 3800 Inverrary Blvd., Suite 111. We do not have any reports about any closings, including schools, at this time. This information will be passed on when received.
Very Truly Yours,
Richard J. Kaplan
Mayor, City of Lauderhill
