Here’s your 2024 Hurricane Guide from Lakeland Electric

Even if you’re a hurricane season veteran, double-checking your preparedness checklist is always a smart move.

Luckily, Lakeland Electric recently released its free, comprehensive 2024 Hurricane Guide , which includes everything from an emergency kit checklist and pet tips to the latest evacuation recommendations.

Let’s look at the highlights:

📱 Get real-time updates

Update your number on file to receive real-time outage updates. A quick call to (863) 834-9535 is all it takes to stay in the loop.

🧰 Restock your emergency kit

Lakeland Electric uses a smart meter system that registers outages the moment they occur — without needing to call.

But even if their teams work around the clock (and they do), some residents may be without power for hours or days.

Use this checklist to ensure you + your neighbors (and even your furry friends) are equipped to handle any outage.

🌴 Don’t get electrocuted

If trees go down, power lines may go down with them.

Use (863) 834-4248 to report downed lines, and always assume a line is (dangerously) energized.
