In the wake of 2017’s Hurricane Irma, Lee County produced regular flood-mitigation updates for residents. Below is an archive of those communications. For the current phase of the county’s flood mitigation efforts (commonly referred to as Phase 3), the county will use various landing pages on this website for communication with residents rather than continuing to produce updates to post here. Please click around this entire website for Phase 3 information, which will be updated as needed.
