Orlando’s police and fire department personnel are now back on the road to respond to calls for service after briefly taking shelter due to powerful wind speeds overnight, as announced by the city of Orlando.

Despite the resumption of services, residents are advised to continue sheltering in place and to only call 911 in cases of emergency, according to the city’s statement. For less urgent reports, such as damage and downed trees, individuals are encouraged to contact the city’s Citizen Info Line.
