When it comes to hurricane preparedness and evacuation, Meadowlark Shores RV Resort takes safety seriously. Located along the beautiful Caloosahatchee River, our resort is fortunate to enjoy tranquil days of sunshine and fishing most of the year—but as a responsible Florida RV community, we have clear, structured procedures in place to protect our guests during hurricane season. Knowing what to do and when to act is essential for keeping everyone safe, and our team ensures that every guest is informed and prepared well in advance.

At Meadowlark Shores, we follow strict hurricane preparedness guidelines that prioritize early communication and safe evacuation. The moment a tropical system forms that could impact our region, resort management closely monitors updates from the National Hurricane Center and local emergency management agencies. Guests are kept informed through on-site announcements, posted notices, and updates in the clubhouse and office areas.

When a tropical storm or hurricane watch is issued, our staff immediately begins assisting residents with preparation. This includes advising guests to secure awnings, patio furniture, and outdoor items that could become windborne debris. Those with park models or long-term setups are encouraged to tie down or store items safely. We emphasize staying alert and preparing early—long before an evacuation becomes mandatory.

If a hurricane warning or mandatory evacuation order is issued by county officials, Meadowlark Shores guests are expected to follow it without delay. Our evacuation plan is clear and easy to follow. Guests should disconnect all utilities, turn off propane tanks, and remove hoses and cords before leaving their site. Those with RVs should secure all slide-outs, double-check hitch connections, and hit the road well before conditions deteriorate.

For guests without their own transportable RV, the resort provides guidance on local shelter options and safe evacuation routes. Our staff works to ensure that everyone has access to accurate information and knows where to go. The key is leaving early—traffic can build quickly, and waiting too long can create unnecessary risks.

After the storm passes, our team carefully inspects the property for damage before allowing anyone to return. We work closely with local authorities to confirm when it is safe to reenter the park. Guests will be notified once power, water, and sewer systems have been fully inspected and restored to proper working order.

One of the most important aspects of hurricane season at Meadowlark Shores is our community support system. Neighbors often help one another with preparations—covering windows, assisting with tie-downs, or sharing evacuation updates. This strong sense of community makes a huge difference when facing unpredictable weather events.

We also encourage every guest to maintain a personal hurricane plan. This includes keeping emergency supplies such as bottled water, flashlights, batteries, cash, medications, and important documents ready to go. Having a plan reduces stress and allows you to act quickly when the situation calls for it.

While hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida, Meadowlark Shores RV Resort ensures that guests have the resources and knowledge to stay safe. Our staff’s proactive communication, combined with our guests’ cooperation, creates a coordinated and effective response that keeps everyone protected.

Above all, remember that safety always comes first. Property can be replaced—lives cannot. By following Meadowlark Shores’ hurricane evacuation procedures, staying informed, and preparing ahead of time, guests can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re part of a resort community that truly cares about their well-being.
