Hurricane Milton has the potential to become one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for West Central Florida. Our area can expect heavy rainfall well ahead of H. Milton’s landfall expected tomorrow, plus localized flooding from this extremely powerful storm.
Neighbors should finalize efforts today to protect themselves and their families, and prepare their property for flooding rain and significant wind damage. To receive City of Gainesville alerts, sign up at www.alertgnv.org.
Refuse and Helene debris collection
Helene yard debris management
The city’s disaster debris contractor continues to collect debris left by Hurricane Helene and has collected 4,000 cubic yards of yard waste to date (more than 200 standard truckloads).
It is expected to take several weeks to collect all the yard debris and the contractor will make several sweeps through neighborhoods. We appreciate your patience during this time.
