Hurricane prep for a second home
This is planning for a house you may not be in when a storm forms. It is not an emergency desk. If a storm is already a threat, use the county alerts and 911 for life safety.
What a remote owner can set up early
- Register the house on Alert Collier.
- Know the evacuation zone from Collier County Emergency Management.
- Ask your insurer for the hurricane deductible percentage and whether flood is a separate policy. Background from the county’s June 2026 preparedness note.
- Leave a local contact who can photograph the house and call a licensed contractor. The quote form below is for that kind of introduction.
- Major tree cutting is a county solid-waste topic with its own calendar. Read their hurricane yard-waste page before you schedule a big trim in season.
Repair permits after a storm, for houses inside the city, are on the renovation page. Quotes for impact windows, shutters, or a generator are on that page under hurricane upgrades. A scheduled check while you are away is home watch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Collier County marks the Atlantic hurricane season as June 1 through November 30. Their 2026 preparedness note asks residents to keep at least seven days of supplies and to register for Alert Collier, which can cover up to five addresses.
The county says no. Flood coverage is separate, and an NFIP policy typically waits 30 days before it starts. Buy it before a storm is named. Insurers often pause new policies once a watch is issued.
Look up the address on Collier County’s evacuation zone map. Do not guess from a neighborhood name. Shelter and zone help: Collier County Emergency Management, and the county lists (800) 729-3413 for shelter and transportation assistance.
