HURRICANE SAFETY TIPS
Areas east of I-95 have been declared a primary hurricane evacuation zone.
If you live in a mobile or manufactured home, be prepared to evacuate. These types of homes will not withstand hurricane force winds or wind-blown debris.
If you evacuate, designate someone who lives away from the path of the hurricane to be your contact person. Keep this contact person apprised of your situation and tell family and friends who your contact person is. Include a phone number and e-mail address.
If you plan to evacuate:
Do so early.
Board up or shutter windows and brace garage doors.
Plan your route.
Have a place to stay.
Make hotel reservations early.
Have valid Florida ID ( all family members)
Keep a hurricane supply kit ready. It should include
all family necessities to include medications.
If you do not plan to evacuate:
Board up or shutter windows and brace garage doors.
Designate an interior room as a safe room.
Have mattresses and pillows available in the safe room.

Sheriff's Substation
Have you noticed the presence of the Flagler County Sheriff's Department in Beverly Beach? They are here to help with speed control. Thanks to a donation from The Beverly Beach Camptown, the town will be building a Sheriff's Substation.
Surveys were conducted by the County and the State to have the speed limit reduced to 35mph in Beverly Beach. Their findings did not warrant a speed reduction in our area. Therefore, our traffic control will be monitored by the Sheriff's Department
From time to time you may see a Sheriff's patrol car sitting in the driveway at the Town Hall. They will be stopping by to introduce themselves to the town staff and to check out this new substation.
The Mayor has had numerous meetings with the Sheriff's Department to discuss this operation. Both the Sheriff and the Mayor are excited about the possibilities this will open for the Sheriff's Department.
Of course Beverly Beach is a great location with excellent facilities to work with
