Please be aware that the Seminole County burn ban has been reinstated due to drought conditions. See below for additional information.

BURN BAN REINSTATED: Although the burn ban was lifted last week, Seminole County's drought index has once again met the criteria established under County Code, automatically reinstating the burn ban.

Under Seminole County Code Section 85.24, Burn Bans are automatically enacted when the drought index, known as the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI), reaches or exceeds 500.

The burn ban will remain in effect until the drought index stays below 500 for seven consecutive days or until further notice. Residents are urged to use caution with any outdoor activities that could spark a fire and to remain alert for changing conditions.

Most people think about water, batteries, and flashlights when preparing for hurricane season. But being ready goes beyond building an emergency kit.

Take a few minutes to review these often-overlooked preparedness steps, including creating a family communication plan, choosing an out-of-town contact, planning for special needs, reviewing your insurance coverage, and more.

The best time to prepare is before a storm is on the radar.
