2 weeks agoTreasure Island Hurricane Expo to Prepare Residents for Upcoming Season
The 2024 hurricane season remains fresh in everyone’s mind as many are still recovering from its impacts. It also serves as a reminder to always be prepared. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 and is quickly approaching. To help residents and business owners get ready, the City of Treasure Island is hosting a Hurricane Expo on Friday, April 17, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Treasure Island Community Center located at 1 Park Place and 106th Avenue.
The event will feature a special presentation by Mike Clay, the Chief Meteorologist at Spectrum Bay News 9. He will share valuable insights into what to expect during this hurricane season and beyond.
New this year, local mitigation partners will be available to provide education, information, and resources about storm protection and mitigation for homes, condos, mobile homes, and businesses. Join us to get your mitigation and restoration questions answered and see live demonstrations of flood and wind mitigation products.
Additionally, city and county staff will deliver important presentations on storm response plans, evacuation procedures, and how residents and businesses can prepare before a storm hits. Attendees will receive essential safety and survival tips, flood insurance information, Red Cross resources, and more.
