PBC Commissioner Robert Weinroth advises residents that based on the information received bt the county from the National Weather Service, Mayor David M Kerner issued a Declaration of Emergency, effective 9AM this morning.

The current plan is to close county operations on Monday due to projected sustained winds of 35 – 70 MPH beginning 6PM this evening and continuing through midday Monday.

Palm Tran will terminate bus service and other Sunday services at 4PM to allow its employees to arrive home safely.

Mayor Kerner will update the county residents at a press conference to be held from the PBC Emergency Operations Center at 2PM today. He, along with county staff, will review the steps the county is taking to ensure the safety of our residents.

Due to the nature of the storm, these decisions may be modified if conditions change.

Please stay safe – secure items that may become airborne around your residence as the winds pick up over the next few hours.
