The City of Melbourne, FL, has issued a recommendation from the Melbourne Fire Department regarding the removal of hurricane shutters. Following a hurricane, residents are advised to take down the shutters as soon as possible. Keeping shutters up can obstruct windows, particularly in occupied bedrooms, which poses risks by limiting escape routes for families and access points for firefighters during emergencies. The department emphasizes the importance of maintaining clear exit paths for safety.
