Palm Beach County’s Emergency Operations Center is urging residents to take part in a “Hurricane Kit Swap-Out” now that we’re mid-season. This means checking your emergency supplies and replacing anything expired—like batteries, granola bars, canned goods, and bottled water—so you’re fully prepared if a storm hits. Fresh supplies ensure your family stays safe, nourished, and connected during outages, while also easing the strain on emergency services when severe weather impacts the community.
