from the storm and associated assessments deeming it’s safe to return. Upon returning to Nassau County,
please have identification available. This will ensure that you don’t have any issues returning to your home.
If your identification card does not include your home address, please ensure you have some sort of
documentation so they can confirm your address. (deed, utility bill, property tax bill, etc.)
Please continue to remain vigilant and follow public safety announcements. They can be heard on NOAA
