COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - The Collier County Board of County Commissioners have declared a State of Emergency. At a Sunday afternoon meeting the State of Emergency was declared.

No curfews, evacuations or closures in place for County. The Collier County Emergency Operations Center is monitoring Hurricane Ike.

The current projected storm track will have the storm miss Collier County.
But Commissioners wanted to stress preparedness for county residents and urge them to remain guarded and monitor storm updates regularly.

Residents of the unincorporated areas of Collier County, the City of Marco Island, and the City of Everglades City with piles of Tropical Storm Fay-related debris that still need to be collected are asked call 239-252-2380 and report the location of the debris pile as soon as possible.
