A letter TO OUR COMMUNITY BE PREAPRED: HURRICANE SEASON CALLS FOR VIGILANCE
Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1, and early preparation is more important than ever. Experts continue to emphasize the importance of staying informed, reviewing emergency plans and preparing for the possibility of severe weather and tropical systems that could impact Florida’s Atlantic coast. HOW THE CITY IS PREPARING The city is ready with emergency protocols for before, during and after a storm: Before: We inspect storm drains, offer sandbags, secure public property and coordinate with Volusia County and state agencies. During: Our emergency operations center monitors conditions and shares updates in real time. After: We assess damage, clear roads, restore services and support recovery.
WHAT YOU CAN DO Have a plan: Know your evacuation zone and make arrangements for those with special needs and pets. Build a kit: Stock up on water, food, medications, flashlights and important documents.
Stay informed: Follow the city’s website and social media. Sign up for emergency alerts. Secure your home: Trim trees, bring in outdoor items and check your insurance coverage.
WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER Every storm season is unpredictable, but being prepared isn’t. The City of Daytona Beach is committed to keeping our community informed, safe and resilient. Let’s all do our part to be ready before the first storm forms.
Stay safe and stay prepared, Mayor Derrick L. Henry and City Manager Deric C. Feacher
