The Atlantic Hurricane Season is now underway. Residents are encouraged to take time now to review emergency plans, assemble supplies, and ensure they are prepared before any storm threatens our area.

Peak activity typically occurs August through October, making early preparation critical for safety.

✔ Stay informed through official alerts
✔ Know your evacuation zone
✔ Have supplies ready for at least 7 days
✔ Do not wait until a storm is approaching to prepare

Preparedness today saves lives tomorrow.

Preparedness starts long before a storm appears on the horizon. 🌪️

As part of our ongoing readiness efforts, key leadership and personnel gathered at the Fire Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for a hurricane preparedness exercise. The drill brought together department directors, emergency management staff, including Fire Chief Phillip Pennington, Police Chief Ciro Dominguez, City Manager Gary Young, and other essential personnel to strengthen coordination, communication, and leadership collaboration ahead of hurricane season.

Effective emergency response begins well before a storm makes landfall. Through training, planning, and teamwork, we continue to ensure our community is prepared for whatever hurricane season may bring.
