October 9th City Updates: Hurricane Milton


Bunnell [October 9, 2024 @ 7:45 AM] - The City has been in storm preparation mode for several days and are taking all possible steps and actions to be ready for the arrival of Hurricane Milton.
Please be aware of the following:
- City Offices will be closing at NOON today October 9th and be closed all day Thursday, October 10th; the City will reopen once safe and/or any power is restored
- All City parks will be closed as of NOON today and will remain closed until they can be inspected and are safe to open
- Solid Waste started to make their last pass through the City early this morning. DO NOT try to place out debris or yard waste today
- Please make sure you secure any solid waste or recycling carts in a safe place; do not leave them at the road side
- GRAND RESERVE RESIDENTIAL pick-up on Thursday, October 10th is CANCELLED
- BULK PICK UP for FRIDAY, October 11th is CANCELLED
- YARD WASTE pick-up may start as soon as FRIDAY, October 11th (if safe to operate). Solid Waste trucks may also be working over the weekend to start YARD WASTE pick up. Yard Waste and other debris needs to be kept separate; DO NOT combine these piles and DO NOT place piles near obstructions like cars, power poles, mailboxes, etc. or under obstructions like power lines or cable lines.
- Please try to limit water usage. While the Wastewater Treatment Plant is being manned 24 hours a day, with the anticipated rainfall, there will be a lot of demand on the plant. Limiting water usage that goes down a drain to essential uses only will greatly help avoid issues later.
We continue to participate in Unified Messaging with the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center, please continue to monitor all County information sites to get te current updates about City operations and Hurricane Milton.
All residents are urged to stay safe. The County has enacted a Curfew that goes into effect starting at 7:00 PM tonight, October 9th.
