Our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Ian, especially our teams, families, and friends in Florida and the Gulf Coast region. As a major event, Hurricane Ian is already having devastating impacts on these areas.

Residents in affected areas should continue to monitor local media for forecast updates and follow guidance from local officials.

Do not walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. People often underestimate the force and power of water — just six inches of fast-moving water can knock a person down, and one foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
