Hurricane Season begins June 1, 2008 and ends November 30, 2008.

The Town of South Palm Beach has prepared the following informational page to assist our residents in emergency preparedness by providing links to important agencies which we hope will provide information on how to better protect themselves and their families for preparation before, during, and after an emergency situation.

First and foremost it is important to develop a plan to deal with emergency situations. Your plan should be simple and easy to follow, and include Property Protection Measures, Self Reliant Activities, Boat Owner Storm Preparation, Pet Needs, Special Medical Needs, Evacuation and Shelter Plans. We have included a few special links which will be valuable to you in your time of need and preparation.
