ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County’s government is gearing up for hurricane season. Preparations are underway, as three to five major hurricanes are expected this year.
The county has shared a preview of their plans, emphasizing the importance of residents using the 311 service and the OCFL Alert app to stay informed and safe during storms.
