City Monitoring Hurricane Elsa
Hurricane Elsa is the first Hurricane of the 2021 season. Elsa has potential to impact Florida as early as Monday, July 5th. There is considerable uncertainly with the extended forecast, so the exact part of Florida is still a major unknown. Almost the entire state of Florida is in the forecast cone from the hurricane center.
The City of Hallandale Beach is monitoring the situation and will continue to do so through the holiday weekend. In an abundance of caution, City crews are preparing for potential rain-flooding, storm surge, and wind hazards.
At this time, residents are reminded to review their emergency plans and ensure hurricane readiness and essential supplies are on hand. Keep an eye on local news and ensure all bulk trash items are removed from swales. Areas around your home should also be clear of debris and loose materials.
