Pasco County Evacuations


The Pasco Tribune

Pasco County officials are recommending evacuations for those living in coastal areas that are prone to flooding. Those living in Evacuation Level A should consider evacuating, officials said.

“We’re not going to push them to evacuate,” Evelyn Klopp, county public communications specialist, said.

The county is opening three shelters beginning at 6 p.m.:

* Schrader Elementary, 11041 Little Road, Port Richey;

* Trinity Elementary, 2209 Duck Slough Blvd., New Port Richey;

* River Ridge Middle/High School, 11646 Town Center Road, New Port Richey.

River Ridge is a special needs shelter for those with medical issues.

If there are residents with special needs living in areas prone to flooding, who need assistance, they may call (727) 847-8959.

Pasco’s Emergency Operations Center will partially activate at 5 p.m., Klopp said. The county’s Resident Information Center will be staffed throughout the night. For information, call (727) 847-8959 or (352) 521-5137.
