Press release information from Flagler County Public Information Officer Julie Murphy
Flagler County has issued a mandatory evacuation order effective at 7 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 for the following areas:
The existing mandatory evacuation remains in effect for evacuation zones A, B, C and F for all nursing homes, elder care facilities, other elder care facilities, community residential group homes and non-elder health care facilities and community residential group homes.
To determine if you're in an evacuation zone that has a mandatory evacuation, click here and type in your address and see if it's in one of the colored zones (A or F) that now have a mandatory evacuation.
Residents of all other areas (Zones B, C, D, and E) should shelter in place unless they meet any of the above criteria.
Note: Palm Coast's letter housing zones (ex: "C section") are NOT correlated to evacuation zones.
“We are requiring people to get out of harm’s way, which means going to a shelter at this point,” Flagler County Public Safety Emergency Manager Steve Garten said in the release. “We are asking people to remain within the county if they haven’t already left for some other destination, both because of traffic conditions and uncertain weather conditions.”
Shelters will open at 7 a.m. Saturday at: 1) Rymfire Elementary for special needs; 2) Bunnell Elementary for residents with crated, domestic pets; and, shelters 3 - 4) Buddy Taylor – Wadsworth campus for the general population.
