As Hurricane Ian heads toward the Sunshine State, residents in Florida are advised to keep these emergency phone numbers on hand.

Tampa could suffer its first direct hit from a hurricane in more than 100 years. The National Hurricane Center reports life-threatening storm surge is possible along much of Florida’s west coast, with the highest risk from Fort Myers to the Tampa Bay region. Significant river flooding is likely across central Florida.

Parts of Florida could see the effects of the storm as early as Tuesday with hurricane conditions hitting Florida’s west coast Wednesday into Thursday. Ian could also cause considerable flooding in Georgia and South Carolina later in the week.
