FORT MYERS, Fla — Here at FOX 4, we are making sure you have all you need to know for hurricane season. Our website will keep you up to date on how to prepare for a hurricane before one hit. It will also give you the tools you need to weather the storm and recover after.

Our FOX 4 Hurricane Guide is entirely digital, so you'll always have access to relevant information. You can see the latest hurricane stories, radar and, checklist just by clicking on the hurricane center under the menu tab.

Another important tool is our map. It will give you a general idea of what storm surge zone you live in, and you can also see your evacuation zone and the shelters nearest you. All you have to do is type in your address.

Our site isn't just for hurricanes. You can also get quick updates on the weather happening right now to better plan your day.
