Fort Lauderdale, FL – Hurricane Irma left the Humane Society of Broward County (HSBC) without power for three days.  Sadly the Upper Keys Humane Society located in Key Largo may not have power for weeks or possibly months.  Prior to the storm, staff from the shelter in Key Largo drove their 55 cats and five dogs, that had been in their adoption area, to the Humane Society of Broward County to ride out the storm safely.  Now that the hurricane has passed, the Key Largo staff drove back to their shelter and assessed the area.  While their building is still standing they felt it was in the best interest of the animals that they remain at the HSBC to find new homes. 

City of Fort Lauderdale debris removal contractors are finishing up Hurricane Irma debris removal to clear roadways. As soon as roadways are clear, contractors will begin making multiple passes through neighborhoods to pick up storm-generated debris.
