"We urge residents in these areas to leave the area due to updated expectations of significant flooding of your neighborhood streets, with the potential to impact your home," said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. "Additionally, as the flooding progresses, it is possible that emergency vehicles will no longer have access to your neighborhood."
Peak flooding will occur overnight, officials said.
Residents are encouraged to stay with friends or relatives outside of those low-lying areas or go to the public shelter at Rymfire Elementary School that just opened at 1425 Rymfire Drive in Palm Coast. The general population of the city of Bunnell's water utilities are taxed, officials said. Residents are asked to leave as soon as possible as peak flooding will occur overnight.
Residents utilizing shelters are encouraged to bring their own bedding. Single/twin size inflatable mattresses are preferred because of space limitations.
All residents also should bring:
- Five-day supply of all medications
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets
- Extra chargers and batteries for electronics
- Headphones for music devices
- Snacks and "comfort foods" - meals will be served
- Important documents including identification, medical history, and insurance
No weapons, illegal narcotics or alcohol are allowed.
