As the tropics become more active with disturbances and hurricanes, the Flagler County government is encouraging residents to follow the Emergency Management department on social media to stay informed.
Emergency Management has social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook and X, formerly known as Twitter, under the social media handle “FlaglerEOC,” a press release from Flagler County said.
Preparedness is part of the department’s mantra, Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord said.
“Always have preparedness measures in place, and make sure you are accessing accurate, verified information,” Lord said.
Residents can ensure they are prepared by staying informed, making a plan for evacuation and communication with loved ones and building a a disaster supply kit that includes food, water, medications, flashlights and batteries, and clothing to live “off the grid” for a full seven days.
Another Disaster Supply Sales Tax Holiday will take place from Saturday, Aug. 26 through Friday, Sept. 8.
The county reminds residents that the peak of hurricane season is still ahead and runs until the end of November, the press release said.
