Hurricane Watch Issued for Fort Walton Beach?

6/20/2023 (Permalink)

We have been restoring storm damage in Okaloosa County for decades!

Are you prepared to evacuate in the event of a hurricane watch? The National Weather Service issues a hurricane watch when there is a threat to coastal areas for hurricane conditions within 24 to 36 hours. Our Fort Walton Beach team has been restoring hurricane damage in Okaloosa County for over twenty years.

The Fort Walton Beach Housing Authority (FWBHA) urges residents to be prepared to evacuate when a hurricane watch is issued, and:

Never ignore an evacuation order. Authorities will be most likely to direct you to leave if you are in a low-lying area or within the greatest potential path of the storm. Be aware that most shelters and some hotels do not accept pets.

If a hurricane warning is issued for your area or you are directed by authorities to evacuate the area:

• Take only essential items with you
• If you have time, turn off the gas, electricity, and water
• Disconnect appliances to reduce the likelihood of electrical shock when power is restored
• Make sure your automobile’s emergency kit is ready
• Follow the designated evacuation routes
