Seminole follows a robust hurricane preparedness plan when any storm approaches its service territory, including the preparation of all affected facilities to endure hurricane-force winds.

The exact path, strength, and timing of Dorian’s impact on Florida’s east coast remains uncertain, with the current expected landfall on Monday evening. Seminole is working closely with the Florida Electric Cooperatives Association (FECA), our Members, and local authorities to prepare for the storm and to coordinate any restoration efforts.

Seminole will continue to monitor Dorian closely and encourages all Floridians to review their storm plan and supplies.

Tampa, FL – Seminole employees served their community this holiday season, donating toys for individuals in need as a part of this year’s Toys for Tots toy drive.

Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Seminole and its employees are proud to contribute to this effort.

Donations requested this year included new unwrapped toys for all ages, especially gifts for girls age 10-12, and infant toys. Seminole employees filled boxes with dolls, soccer balls, light-up toys and more—just  in time for the holiday season.

The Toys for Tots giving campaign is one of many charitable efforts taken on by Seminole employees throughout the year. Seminole is proud to serve our communities with charitable and volunteer efforts benefitting those in need.
