Collier County’s tourism bureau has activated its emergency Hotel Hotline, providing information on which Naples hotels have rooms available.

Based on a telephone survey Monday, there are currently more than 3,000 available rooms available for the next four nights.

If Ernesto continues on its more easterly path, it’s expected that Southeast Florida residents may choose to evacuate here. If local residents are thinking of relocating to an area hotel, now is the time to call for reservations.

The number is 1-800-785-8252.
