- Residents and
businesses should be advised to listen to local radio and television
stations for any curfew announcements.
- All residents and
businesses are expected to follow curfew laws.
- Exemptions to
curfews include essential personnel such as law enforcement,
fire-rescue, hospital or other healthcare workers, emergency
management, and others involved in recovery efforts.
Curfews are unusual
for communities that suffer a direct hit from a storm or other type of
disaster. Homes and businesses may be severely damaged, law
enforcement and emergency resources are strained, and some roads and
highways may be blocked due to debris. Darkness brings dangers
associated with downed trees and power lines, especially in flooded
areas.
Curfews can be
imposed by local (city police) or County (Broward Sheriff's Office)
law enforcement. They can encompass a small area of just a few blocks
(if storm damage is isolated), or apply countywide (in the event of
wide-spread destruction). Countywide curfews would be issued by the
Broward Sheriff's Office.
