Hurricane Season 2023 Be Prepared!

The 2023 Hurricane Season is underway, and we have already begun seeing storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has predicted that 12-17 named storms will form this year, with five to nine of those becoming hurricanes.

Last year, we watched Hurricane Ian devastate parts of Florida with over $112 billion dollars in damage from wind and flooding. It was the costliest hurricane in Florida’s history.

One of our main priorities at the City of Palm Beach Gardens is ensuring our residents are prepared should a hurricane bring catastrophic effects to our area. Now is the time to make a solid plan that will be your guide in the event a hurricane makes landfall in Palm Beach County.

1. Make a family plan that includes an evacuation route, updated emergency contacts and consideration for your pets, if needed.

2. Create a basic emergency kit. Not sure where to start? Visit our Official Hurricane Guide online at www.pbgfl.com/hurricaneguide.

3. Register for AlertPBC - Palm Beach County’s Emergency Notification System by visiting www.alertpbc.com and following the steps provided.

4. Visit www.pbgfl.com/notifyme and sign up for emails from City Hall so that you know what the City is doing to keep you safe.

We hope this information will help you better prepare for all the possibilities that come along with hurricane season.
