Palm Beach County Emergency Management officials continue to actively monitor Major Hurricane Milton and its progress towards the Florida's West Coast. Palm Beach County is currently under a Flood Watch until Thursday at 8 am. As of 9 A.M. Monday the county is under a State of Emergency. The EOC is at a Level III, which is enhanced monitoring. Palm Beach County offices remain open for business.
Flooding in urban and low-lying areas is possible depending on rainfall amounts, but that could change if the storm's actual track moves south. Palm Beach County is working with the South Florida Water Management District and local water control districts to minimize the effect of localized flooding. It is the peak of hurricane season and Palm Beach County wants to remind residents to be prepared even if this particular storm does not affect us.
