Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Sachs and other officials provided an update Tuesday afternoon on local preparations related to Hurricane Milton.
Sachs was joined by incident Commander Verdenia Baker and Mary Blakeney, Palm Beach County’s emergency management director along with other elected officials and county staff.
“We in Palm Beach County must take this storm seriously,” Sachs said. “Now is the time to have your storm preparations done.”
County operations, including beaches, parks, libraries, Palm Tran service and all senior activities, will close at noon Wednesday through Thursday. Sachs said they hope services can resume Friday unless conditions change.
