Members of Palm Coast Yacht CLub were invited to tour the Flager County Emergency Operations Center and participate in a special seminar on preparing our homes and boats for the Hurricane Season.
The event began with a tour of the facility, including the seldom seen space where emergency staff are lodged during hurricanes and other community emergencies.
Following the tour, our group learned about the services Flagler County provides before and during a hurricane. We also heard from Jonathan Lord, Director of Emergency Operations about ways to protect our homes and what we need in terms of insurance.
Then Captain Jack Jones spoke more specifically about ways to protect boats during a storm, including knots to use to extend the length of lines.
