FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...

1. SHOWER ACTIVITY HAS DECREASED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE REMNANT LOW OF FORMER TROPICAL DEPRESSION
TWO...LOCATED ABOUT 1300 MILES EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. WHILE
UPPER-LEVEL CONDITIONS ARE ONLY MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR
DEVELOPMENT...SLOW REGENERATION OF THIS SYSTEM INTO A TROPICAL
CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 TO 50 PERCENT...
OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT
48 HOURS.

2. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS GRADUALLY BECOMING BETTER
ORGANIZED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED
ABOUT 200 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE SOUTHERN CAPE VERDE ISLANDS.
CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SYSTEM...AND A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM DURING THE NEXT DAY
OR TWO AS IT MOVES WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THERE IS A HIGH
CHANCE...GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

3. A TROPICAL WAVE INTERACTING WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW IS PRODUCING A
LARGE AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS OVER HISPANIOLA...AND THE
SOUTHEASTERN BAHAMAS. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD SLOWLY
WEST OR WEST-NORTHWESTWARD DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE
ARE NO SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT
FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM. THERE IS A
LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE

Message from Commissioner Aaronson

2009-07-06T07:40:00.001-04:00

July 2, 2009

Last month I focused on the importance of your hurricane preparations. Now I would like to share the County’s hurricane preparations with you.

Palm Beach County is in charge of evacuation and recovery actions. The County’s Emergency Management Division, is responsible for maintaining and developing contingency plans for major disasters. The County’s hurricane response and recovery plans have proven effective in the past and are periodically reviewed and updated. The cities have worked with the County to develop a response to provide public safety and health services to those areas affected by a hurricane. Before, during and after a hurricane, county staff and state and federal representatives are housed at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in West Palm Beach. Florida Power and Light representatives are also at the EOC coordinating power restoration efforts with the County. This entire team is dedicated to saving lives, protecting property, and getting us back to full operation as soon as possible.

Traffic Division Director Dan Weisberg advises that there are approximately 1000 traffic signal heads throughout the County. As a hurricane approaches, Engineering staff takes down signal heads as determined by the County Engineer. These are stored to use after the storm passes. Engineering has a three-fold plan for replacing/repairing traffic signals: assess for damages, make the roads safe (repair fallen wires, downed signal heads) and make temporary repairs, and finally, bring in outside help for permanent repairs. Priority is given to major intersections and schools.

Division Chief Jim St. Pierre from Fire Rescue reports that there is a new location for its Command Center. Each Fire Rescue station will have a Station Manager who will communicate with the Command Center. He reminds us that when winds reach 40 miles per hour, service is stopped and 911 calls are stacked until the winds die down. When the winds subside, calls are returned, situations are evaluated and service is continued.

The Water Utilities Department has delivered and connected generators to service the lift stations after a hurricane. There are a number of Homeowners Associations who have bought generators through the County that will service the lift stations within their communities. The agreement does stipulate that if a hurricane has not affected the community, the generators will be moved to areas in the County that were damaged. If your community is interested in discussing purchasing generators, please contact my office.

The Solid Waste Authority reminds us not to put vegetation at the curb when a hurricane is approaching. It is impossible to collect and process all vegetation before a hurricane hits. In hurricane force winds, excessive debris may pose a danger not only to you but your neighbors as well.

Finally, I cannot stress enough how important it is for you as a resident, as a family or as a community to be prepared during this hurricane season. We care about you and we are here to help you all we can before, during and after a hurricane. However, ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety. I would urge all of you to make your plans if you have not or to review your plans to be sure that you are prepared.

Help Prevent Price Gouging

2009-06-10T18:22:00.001-04:00

Price Survey Helps Prevent Hurricane Price Gouging
For immediate release: June 9, 2009
Contact: Dennis Moore, PBC Consumer Affairs Division, (561) 712-6600
In preparing for the hurricane season, most consumers will find small generators, chain saws and tarps are less expensive this year. Batteries and roof felt are more expensive. These were some of the findings from the Palm Beach County Consumer Affairs’ recently concluded price survey of commodities most likely to be needed for a hurricane or other emergency.

Since 1996, the Consumer Affairs Division has annually surveyed a variety of Palm Beach County retailers selling goods likely to be used should a hurricane threaten the region. The survey is used in conjunction with a county Price Gouging Ordinance effective when a state of emergency is declared.

This year, 75 commodities were surveyed among 40 small and large retailers operating throughout the county. Under a state of emergency, the ordinance makes it illegal for businesses to charge more than the average retail price for consumer goods or services. Consumer Affairs investigators enforce the ordinance through the issuance of civil citations.

According to Consumer Affairs Director Dennis Moore, Palm Beach County compliance officers become proactive before and immediately following a hurricane in search of price-gouging violators. “We want the days of a guy in a pickup truck selling bags of ice for $20 or sheets of plywood for $200 to be over,” he said.

The Consumer Affairs Division works with its counterparts in Broward and Miami-Dade counties so that the price of hurricane commodities can be tracked for all of South Florida.

Below is a comparison of average costs for select commodities in the Consumer Affairs’ price surveys for 2008 and 2009:

Commodity 2008 2009 percent price change

AA alkaline battery (8 pack) $6.59 to $6.73 +2.1
14” gas chain saw $178.88 to $160.99 -10.0
pull-start generator (1800 – 3999 watts) $679.66 to $568.89 -16.3
½” plywood (4’ x 8’) $19.71 to $19.16 -0.3
¾” plywood (4’ x 8’) $29.22 to $30.18 +3.2
lantern (fluorescent with battery) $24.07 to $22.60 -6.1
lantern (propane) $22.40 to $31.98 +42.8
plastic tarp (16’ x 20’) $28.15 to $23.18 -18.0
ice (standard bag) $2.19 to $2.03 -7.3
roof felt (30-pound roll) $21.46 to $28.93 +34.7

Hurricane Preparedness/Emergency Information

With hurricane season upon us, I took the opportunity last week to visit the Palm Beach County Emergency Operations Center and was briefed on the County's emergency plan. Having led the response and recovery from three hurricanes when I was Mayor of Boca Raton, I was very impressed with the county team we have in place to handle a natural disaster. The key element for all is to be as self-sufficient as possible.

Advance preparation is crucial for the safety of you and your family. The county has an extensive amount of useful and important information available on the 2009 Hurricane Preparedness webpage. In addition to the Hurricane Preparedness Guide, you can find a listing of Publix stores and gas stations that have generators, links to federal and state agencies and much more.

Also, just a reminder that battery operated televisions that receive signals over the air will not be operational due to the digital switch effective June 12. Battery operated radios (AM/FM) are recommended and battery operated portable “digital” televisions are available for purchase.

Please take some time to review the information online. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 561-276-1220 or the county’s Emergency Management Division at 561-712-6400.

Message from Commissioner Aaronson
June 5, 2009

The 2009 hurricane season has officially begun. While storms have forsaken us recently all one has to do is hear the words Wilma, Jeanne or Frances and the importance of making preparations comes rushing back. In the past I have worked diligently with county staff to provide information vital to attaining that goal. I want to take this opportunity to continue that practice now.

One tool I utilized in the past was the county’s Hurricane Survival Guide. While a 2009 guide will not be published, the 2008 guide remains online for those who may not have one and the information in them still pertinent. According to Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento, Emergency Management has the goal of developing a more comprehensive survival guide. This future guide will touch on all potential disasters, will not be limited to any given year, can be used over and over and applied to many circumstances. I will keep you informed.

When and if a storm approaches, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will release a list of Publix supermarkets and gas stations that, to the best of their knowledge, have generators and will be operational. This list will be included on their website: www.pbcgov.com/publicsafety/emergencymanagement and delivered through public service announcements (PSA’s), news media and on Channel 20.

Another concern recently brought to my attention by a constituent is the proper storage of generators and fuels before, during and after a storm. While generators can feel like a lifesaver on one hand, they can also be very dangerous through improper usage and storage. Deputy Fire Marshall Jeff Collins highly encourages having a carbon monoxide detector not only for hurricane preparation but for everyday protection. Also, the storage of gasoline should only be done during a storm and not beyond as it creates additional safety hazards. Prepping and testing your generator before a storm is a must and remember to never use a generator during a storm or in an enclosed area, like a porch or garage.

Cable TV Coordinator David Frye reminds those relying on battery operated televisions to receive county briefings from the EOC during and after a storm that they will need to revise their plan. Just as the digital switch may have affected the televisions in your home, portable battery powered televisions that receive over the air signals will cease to function after June 12th. Radio’s AM/FM channels will still work and portable battery powered digitaltelevisions have been developed and are available at various electronic stores.

Finally, to reiterate past messages: stock up on food and water, make sure you have enough of your prescription medicines on hand, get flashlights and batteries in lieu of candles as they can be hazardous, charge your cell phone or have a corded telephone on hand since cordless phones will not function and cell service may get knocked out, stay in your home during the storm and remain there. If you must travel after, remember – ROAD SAFETY IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.

Just as the kids at school groan at the practice of another fire drill so do many of us grow tired of preparing for situations we don’t even like to think about. However, I have said it before and I will say it again, despite all of the good intentions of government, it takes time to get help to you – at least 24 hours. That is why I cannot emphasize enough the importance of getting ready for the upcoming season.
