Stronger Than A Hurricane!

As Southwest Floridians, we’ve seen storms of all shapes and sizes roll through our skies and over our beautiful beaches. From Hurricane Ian to Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, we’ve had enough close up experiences to keep hurricane preparedness top of mind as the 2025 hurricane season gets underway. Residential communities and businesses that have endured multiple storms take great pride in being prepared. At Gulf Coast Village in Cape Coral, for example, the life plan community has weathered 36 years of Florida’s fiercest storms, yet not once has it been forced to evacuate residents. The same goes for The Preserve in Fort Myers; neither community has ever evacuated residents or had to worry about flooding.

Building strong, storm-ready senior communities is important because the safety of residents who call the communities “home” is a priority – in regular times and during weather emergencies. Leadership teams at Gulf Coast Village and The Preserve follow a proven hurricane preparedness plan, managing every detail with care, professionalism and compassion. That commitment to safety gives peace of mind to residents and their loved ones. They rest assured knowing there is a formal plan in place – the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), which covers risk assessment, policies and procedures, communications, training and testing. Leadership reviews the CEMP annually to assess protocols, update strategies and needs, and stock up on emergency supplies like generator fuel, medications, food, water and other items required for post-storm operations.

Remember When …

A Brief History Of Cape Coral’s Fourth Of July Parad

The Cape Coral Fourth of July Parade dates back to the early years of the city’s development. Cape Coral was founded in 1957, and by the 1970s, community-led celebrations for Independence Day began to take shape, including neighborhood gatherings, small parades, and fireworks. The parade grew in scale as the city’s population expanded, drawing in families, local organizations, veterans’ groups, businesses, and school bands.  The City of Cape Coral officially began organizing and supporting the Fourth of July Parade and surrounding festivities in later years, integrating it into the larger Red, White & BOOM! celebration.
Typically, the parade is held in the morning on July 4th, traveling down Cape Coral Parkway, and includes: Floats, Marching bands, Local dignitaries and veterans, Classic cars and emergency vehicles, Dance teams, scouts, and community organizations.
One of the largest single-day events in Southwest Florida, Red, White & BOOM! takes place on the evening of July 4th, with live music, food vendors, and a massive fireworks display over the Caloosahatchee River. While the parade itself kicks off the day’s celebrations, Red, White & BOOM! serves as the grand finale, attracting tens of thousands of attendees. Read more on page 4 of the paper.
